• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDIF063 - FX rate & is too big, only & digits is allowed before decimal point. ?

  The SAP error message MDIF063 indicates that the foreign exchange (FX) rate you are trying to enter exceeds the allowed number of digits before the decimal point. This is a validation error that occurs when the FX rate exceeds the system's defined limits for the number of digits.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The FX rate you are entering has more digits before the decimal point than the system allows. For example, if the system is configured to allow a maximum of 5 digits before the decimal point, entering a rate like 123456.78 would trigger this error.
  The configuration settings in the SAP system for currency exchange rates are set to restrict the number of digits.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the FX Rate: Ensure that the FX rate you are trying to enter is within the allowed limits. Adjust the rate to have fewer digits before the decimal point.

  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to adjust the settings to allow for a higher number of digits before the decimal point, if that is appropriate for your business needs.
