• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPE101 - Either decimals or predecimals can be entered ?

  The SAP error message CPE101 ("Either decimals or predecimals can be entered") typically occurs in the context of entering values in fields that require a specific format for decimal numbers. This error indicates that the system expects either a decimal value or a pre-decimal value, but not both, or that the input format is incorrect.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Input Format: The user may have entered a value that mixes decimal and pre-decimal formats incorrectly. For example, entering a value like "1.234,56" might trigger this error if the system expects either "1234.56" or "1234,56" based on the locale settings.
  Locale Settings: The system's locale settings may dictate how numbers are formatted (e.g., using commas or periods as decimal separators). If the input does not conform to these settings, the error can occur.
  Field Configuration: The field may be configured to accept only certain types of numeric input, and the entered value does not meet those criteria.
