  Solution:
  
  Check Amount Precision: Verify the amount you are trying to enter. Ensure that it conforms to the allowed number of decimal places for the currency you are using. For example, if the currency is set to 2 decimal places, ensure that the amount does not exceed this.

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the currency settings or how to adjust them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
