  The SAP error message EL326 indicates that an input value has too many digits for the specified field or template. This typically occurs in scenarios where a numeric input exceeds the defined length or precision set in the system.
  Cause:

  Check Field Length: Review the field definition in the relevant SAP module to determine the maximum allowed length for the input value. Ensure that the value you are entering does not exceed this limit.
  Adjust Input Value: Modify the input value to fit within the allowed digit count. For example, if the field allows for 10 digits, ensure that your input is 10 digits or fewer.
