• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/SP_RPR_PP004 - Number of decimal places &1 for master data &2 does not match &3 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/SP_RPR_PP004 indicates a mismatch in the number of decimal places defined for a specific master data object. This typically occurs in the context of planning or production processes where the system expects a certain level of precision for quantities, prices, or other numerical values.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The number of decimal places defined in the master data (e.g., material master, info records, etc.) does not match the expected number of decimal places defined in the configuration or in the relevant planning area.
  This can happen if there have been changes to the configuration settings or if the master data was created or modified with different decimal settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Master Data Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant master data (e.g., Material Master) and check the number of decimal places defined for the specific field (e.g., quantity, price).
  Ensure that the decimal places match the expected configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the relevant planning area or module (e.g., PP, MM) to see what the expected number of decimal places is.
  You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and looking for the relevant settings under the respective module.
  
  
  
  Adjust Decimal Places:
  
  If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust either the master data or the configuration settings to ensure they are consistent.
  If you need to change the master data, you can do this through transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) or similar, depending on the type of master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  After making changes, perform a consistency check to ensure that all related data is aligned and that there are no further discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process again to ensure that the error does not occur.
