• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COOS073 - Quantity &1 (unit &2) rounded to value &3 ?

  The SAP error message COOS073 indicates that a quantity has been rounded to a specific value due to the settings in the system. This message typically occurs in the context of production orders, cost accounting, or inventory management when dealing with quantities that do not conform to the expected decimal places or units of measure.
  Cause:
  
  
  Decimal Places Configuration: The rounding issue often arises from the configuration of decimal places for the unit of measure in the material master or the configuration settings in the system. If the quantity being processed has more decimal places than allowed, SAP will round it to the nearest permissible value.
  
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): The unit of measure associated with the material may have specific rounding rules defined in the system. If the quantity does not match these rules, it will be rounded.
  
  
  Quantity Conversion: If there is a conversion between different units of measure (e.g., from kilograms to grams), the resulting quantity may not fit the defined decimal places for the target unit.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings: Review the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the decimal places for the unit of measure are correctly configured. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and checking the relevant views.
  
  
  Adjust Rounding Rules: If necessary, adjust the rounding rules for the unit of measure in the configuration settings. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant area for material management or inventory management.
  
  
  Review Quantity Input: Ensure that the quantities being entered or processed conform to the expected format and decimal places. If you are entering a quantity manually, check that it does not exceed the allowed decimal places.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration.
