  The SAP error message FMCU086 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the number of decimal places specified for a particular financial transaction and the number of decimal places defined for the corresponding Funds Management (FM) area. This error typically arises in the context of Funds Management (FM) when processing financial documents or transactions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The number of decimal places in the amount being processed exceeds the number of decimal places defined for the FM area in the system configuration.
  For example, if the FM area is configured to allow only 2 decimal places, but the transaction is trying to use 3 decimal places, this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FMCU086 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration of the FM Area:

  SPRO > Public Sector Management > Funds Management > Master Data > Define FM Area.
  
  
  Ensure that the number of decimal places is set according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Transaction Amount:
  
  If the configuration is correct and you need to process the transaction, consider rounding the amount to fit within the allowed number of decimal places.
  For example, if the FM area allows 2 decimal places, ensure that the amount you are entering does not exceed this limit.
  
  
  
  Review the Document:
  
  Check the document or transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that all amounts are correctly formatted and comply with the defined settings for the FM area.
