• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL_OC123 - Only &2 places after the decimal point are allowed for unit &1 ?

  The SAP error message MILL_OC123 indicates that there is an issue with the number of decimal places allowed for a specific unit of measure in a transaction or data entry. The message states that only a certain number of decimal places (in this case, &2) are permitted for the specified unit of measure (&1).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A value is entered with more decimal places than allowed for the specified unit of measure.
  The configuration of the unit of measure in the system restricts the number of decimal places.
  The data being processed (e.g., in a material master, production order, or inventory transaction) does not conform to the defined settings for that unit of measure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure) in SAP.
  Look for the specific unit of measure that is causing the error and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the number of decimal places defined for that unit of measure matches the requirements of your data entry.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input Value:
  
  Review the value you are trying to enter and ensure it conforms to the allowed number of decimal places.
  If the unit of measure allows only two decimal places, make sure your input does not exceed this limit.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  If the error occurs during a transaction involving a material, check the material master data (transaction code MM03).
  Verify the unit of measure settings in the material master and ensure they are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Help:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or how to change it, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to re-enter the data or perform the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, units of measure are defined in the system and can have specific settings regarding decimal places, conversion factors, and more.
  Material Master: The material master contains all the information related to materials, including units of measure and their configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), CUNI (Maintain Units of Measure), and others that may help in troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
