• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLNTR017 - Enter one decimal separator only ?

  The SAP error message FRMLNTR017 ("Enter one decimal separator only") typically occurs when a user is trying to input a numeric value in a field that expects a decimal number, but the input contains multiple decimal separators (e.g., both a comma and a period) or an incorrect format.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Decimal Separators: The user may have entered a number with more than one decimal separator (e.g., "1,234.56" or "1.234,56").
  Incorrect Locale Settings: The system may be configured to expect a specific decimal separator based on the user's locale settings, and the input does not match that expectation.
  Copy-Paste Issues: Sometimes, copying and pasting values from other sources can introduce formatting issues, including multiple decimal separators.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Format: Ensure that the numeric value is entered with only one decimal separator. Depending on your locale, this could be a period (.) or a comma (,). For example:
  
  If your locale uses a comma as a decimal separator, enter "1,23" instead of "1.23".
  If your locale uses a period, enter "1.23" instead of "1,23".
  
  
  
  Adjust Locale Settings: If you frequently encounter this issue, check your user profile settings in SAP to ensure that the correct locale is set. This can affect how numbers are interpreted:
  
  Go to User Profile > Own Data > Defaults and check the settings for the decimal notation.
  
  
  
  Re-enter the Value: If you copied the value from another source, try typing it manually to avoid hidden formatting issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for further assistance.
