  The SAP error message FVD_CAPTR751 with the description "Incorrect character & in number &" typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or data entry where a numeric field is expected, but an invalid character has been entered. This can happen in various modules, including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, or other financial applications within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Characters: The error is triggered when a user inputs a character that is not allowed in a numeric field. For example, entering letters, special characters, or spaces in a field that expects a number.
