  &1: The line number where the error occurred.

  Configuration Settings: If you believe that the number of decimal places should be increased, you may need to check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve:
  
  Consulting with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to see if the decimal place settings can be adjusted for the relevant field or transaction.
