• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTLG_ITM_MNG_MSG_CL013 - Price per unit cannot have more than one decimal point ?

  The SAP error message CTLG_ITM_MNG_MSG_CL013 indicates that there is an issue with the price per unit in a transaction, specifically that it cannot have more than one decimal point. This error typically arises in scenarios where pricing information is being entered or processed, such as in sales orders, purchase orders, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the input of a price that contains more than one decimal point. For example, entering a price like 12.34.56 or 12.34.5 would trigger this error. SAP expects the price to be formatted correctly, typically with a single decimal point followed by the appropriate number of decimal places (e.g., 12.34).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Input: Review the price per unit that you are trying to enter. Ensure that it contains only one decimal point and is formatted correctly. For example, it should be in the format XX.XX (where X is a digit).
  
  
  Correct the Format: If you find that the price has been entered incorrectly, correct it to ensure it follows the proper format. For instance, if the price is 12.34.56, change it to 12.34.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in SAP related to pricing. Ensure that the decimal places allowed for currency and pricing are set correctly in the system.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary corrections, try to save or process the transaction again to see if the error persists.
