  The SAP error message M!077 indicates that there is an issue with the output attribute of a field in a material document or related transaction. Specifically, the message states that the domain for the specified field (&1) has been defined with the output attribute 'Without +/- Sign', which means that the field is expected to display values without a sign (i.e., it should not show positive or negative signs).

  Data Input: If you are entering data manually, ensure that you are not including a sign when entering values for this field. Only enter absolute values.
  Adjust Program Logic: If this error arises from a custom program or report, check the logic to ensure that it does not attempt to assign a signed value to the field. Modify the code to handle values appropriately.
