How To Fix MIGO064 - You cannot switch plants: Different decimal points (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MIGO - Inventory Management: Interface

• Message number: 064

• Message text: You cannot switch plants: Different decimal points (see long text)

What causes this issue?

During data entry, you have entered or changed a plant. You have also,
either previously or in the same step, entered at least one external
plant.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

<DS:DE.EXBWR>EXBWR</> (Externally entered posting amount in local
currency)
<DS:DE.EXVKW>EXVKW</> (Externally entered sales value in local currency)
After this entry, the system determines which currency is the default in
the plant. For each currency, you can make settings in Customizing under
<LS>Set decimal places for currencies</> to specify the number of
decimal places. This means that the currency and number of decimal
places can change depending on the plant:
The currency in plant &V1& has &V2& decimal places.
The currency in plant &V3& has &V4& decimal places.
(If you have not entered a plant, the system always uses two decimal
places).
Switching the decimal places would cause the following situation to
occur:
Example 1)
You have entered an external posting amount in local currency for '1234'
for plant '0001' (currency: Euro, decimal places: 2). After conversion,
the amount is displayed as follows: <ZH>1.234,00</>.
You then change the plant to '0002' (currency: Japanese Yen, decimal
places: 0). Now the external amount is converted according to the new
currency, so that the correct value (with regard to contents) would not
be displayed: <ZH>123.400</>.
Example 2)
The default values for transaction <ZH>MIGO</> do not contain a default
for the 'Plant' field. This means the system cannot determine a
currency. In this case, the system always uses two decimal places. If
you now enter an external posting amount in local currency of '1234'
with plant '0002' (currency: Japanese Yen, decimal places: 0), the
system uses two decimal places instead of 0. For this reason, the
external posting amount '1234' would not be converted into the correct
value (with regard to contents) <ZH>123.400</>.

How to fix this error?

To avoid this situation, proceed as follows:
For example 1)
You can only switch plants, where the number of decimal places would
change, if you have not yet entered an external value. Therefore, you
should first enter the correct plant before you enter an external value.
If you have already entered an external value, you must delete this
value before you switch plants.
For example 2)
Alternative 1:
First, enter the plant and confirm with <LS>Continue</>. You can now
enter the external value.
Alternative 2:
If you post to the plant with the different number of decimal places
(not two), then the default values (<LS>Settings -> Default Values</>)
should contain this plant as a default. This means that you can
immediately enter the external value.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MIGO064 - You cannot switch plants: Different decimal points (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message MIGO064 ("You cannot switch plants: Different decimal points") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a goods movement (like a goods receipt or goods issue) in the MIGO transaction and the plants involved have different decimal point settings for quantities. This can happen when the configuration for the units of measure (UoM) or the decimal places for the material master records are not consistent across the plants.
  Cause:
  
  Different Decimal Settings: The plants involved in the transaction have different settings for the number of decimal places allowed for quantities. For example, one plant may be set to allow two decimal places while another allows three.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master records for the materials being moved may have different decimal point settings based on the plant.
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The UoM settings for the materials may differ between the plants, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MIGO064 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Plant Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the plants involved and verify the decimal point settings for quantities.
  You can check this in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO) under:
  
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Define Decimal Places for Quantity and Amount.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Records:
  
  Check the material master records for the materials involved in the transaction. Ensure that the decimal places for the relevant views (like Basic Data, Purchasing, etc.) are consistent across the plants.
  You can view the material master using transaction code MM03.
  
  
  
  Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Ensure that the units of measure used for the materials are consistent across the plants. You can check this in the material master under the "Units of Measure" tab.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction Data:
  
  If the transaction allows, you may need to adjust the quantities being entered to match the decimal settings of the target plant.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that the configuration is correct and consistent across the system.

  Transaction Codes: MIGO (Goods Movement), MM03 (Display Material), SPRO (Customizing).
  Documentation: SAP Help Portal and SAP Notes related to MIGO and material master configuration.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and change material master data and plant settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the MIGO064 error in SAP.
