• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPRO458 - The formula profile and the prof. copy have different no. of dec. places ?

  The SAP error message EPRO458 indicates that there is a mismatch in the number of decimal places between the formula profile and the profile copy in the context of product costing or material management. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a formula or a recipe in SAP, and the system detects that the decimal precision settings do not align.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Decimal Places: The formula profile (which defines how calculations are performed) and the profile copy (which is a duplicate of the formula profile) have different settings for the number of decimal places. This can happen if one profile is configured to use more or fewer decimal places than the other.
  Configuration Issues: Changes in configuration settings for either the formula profile or the profile copy may lead to discrepancies.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry of values in the formula or profile copy that do not conform to the expected decimal places can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profile Settings: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for both the formula profile and the profile copy.
  Ensure that both profiles have the same number of decimal places defined. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like C223 for formula profiles) and reviewing the settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Decimal Places:
  
  If you find a discrepancy, adjust the decimal places in either the formula profile or the profile copy to match each other.
  Save the changes and try to execute the operation again.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entries:
  
  If the error occurred during data entry, review the values you entered to ensure they conform to the decimal place settings of the profiles.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant for guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making adjustments, perform a test to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
