• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/RCA_CALC065 - Entry has too many decimal places (maximum 6) ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/RCA_CALC065 indicates that a value being processed has more decimal places than the maximum allowed, which is 6 decimal places in this case. This error typically occurs in the context of calculations or data entries where precision is critical, such as in financial or inventory management modules.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Error: A user may have entered a value with more than 6 decimal places in a field that only allows up to 6.
  Data Import: If data is being imported from an external system or file, the source data may contain values with excessive decimal precision.
  Calculation Results: Intermediate calculations may yield results with more than 6 decimal places, which are then being processed in a context that does not allow such precision.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Data Entry: Check the values being entered into the system. Ensure that they conform to the maximum decimal places allowed (6). If necessary, round the values to the appropriate number of decimal places before entering them.
  
  
  Adjust Import Data: If the error arises during data import, review the source data and modify it to ensure that no values exceed 6 decimal places. This may involve rounding or truncating values in the source file.
  
  
  Modify Calculation Logic: If the error is due to calculations, review the logic to ensure that results are rounded to 6 decimal places before they are stored or processed further. This may involve using rounding functions in the relevant ABAP code or configuration settings.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: Check if there are any configuration settings in the SAP system that define the number of decimal places allowed for specific fields or calculations. Adjust these settings if necessary, but be cautious as this may have broader implications.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your ABAP code or data processing logic to catch and manage cases where values exceed the allowed decimal places, providing a user-friendly message or automatic correction.
  
  
  Related Information:
