  The SAP error message 64681, "Enter value change either as a factor or as a constant," typically occurs in the context of configuration or data entry in SAP, particularly when dealing with pricing, cost calculations, or similar scenarios where value changes are applied.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system expects a value change to be specified, but it is not provided in the correct format. Specifically, the system requires that you either:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Ensure that you have entered a value in the appropriate field. If the system requires a constant, make sure you provide a specific number. If it requires a factor, ensure you provide a valid multiplier.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the relevant SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction or module you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected input formats.
  
  
  Validate Configuration: If you are working in a configuration area (like pricing procedures), ensure that the settings are correctly defined. Sometimes, configuration issues can lead to unexpected errors.
  
  
  Test with Different Values: If you are unsure what value to enter, try using different constants or factors to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult with Colleagues or SAP Support: If you are still unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to colleagues who may have experience with the specific transaction or module, or contact SAP support for assistance.
