  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent users from entering values with too many decimal places.
  Review External Data Sources: If the data is coming from an external source, ensure that the data is formatted correctly before it is imported into SAP. This may involve adjusting the data in the source system or using transformation tools during the import process.
