• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI247 - Only integer quantity can be used in instances case ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI247 indicates that there is an issue with the quantity being processed in a transaction or operation. Specifically, the error states that "Only integer quantity can be used in instances case," which means that the system expects a whole number (integer) for the quantity, but it has received a non-integer value (such as a decimal or fractional number).
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Quantity Input: The most common cause of this error is that a user has entered a quantity with decimal places (e.g., 2.5) when the system only allows whole numbers (e.g., 2 or 3).
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the material or the specific transaction may be set to only accept integer quantities.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in data entry where the user inadvertently inputs a non-integer value.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the quantity being entered in the transaction. Ensure that it is a whole number without any decimal places.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process requires the use of decimal quantities, check the configuration settings for the material or transaction type to see if it can be adjusted to allow decimal quantities.
  Validation Rules: Implement validation rules in the user interface to prevent users from entering non-integer values in the future.
  User Training: Provide training to users on the acceptable formats for quantity inputs to avoid similar errors in the future.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transaction codes related to inventory management, sales orders, or production orders where quantities are specified.
  Material Master Settings: Check the material master data to see if the unit of measure is set to allow only integer quantities.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional context or solutions for this specific error message.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the transaction to identify where the non-integer value is being introduced.
  
  By addressing the input values and ensuring that the system configuration aligns with business requirements, you can resolve the MPE_RTG_UI247 error effectively.
