  The SAP error message ICL2289, which states "Arithmetic error in multiplications of values &1 | &2 | &3 | &4," typically occurs during calculations involving numeric values in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The values being multiplied may not be of compatible data types, leading to arithmetic errors.
