• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPC0226 - Quantities have been rounded ?

  The SAP error message PPC0226, which states "Quantities have been rounded," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with quantities in production orders, planned orders, or other related documents. This error indicates that the system has rounded the quantities involved in a transaction, which can lead to discrepancies or issues in the planning and execution of production processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Decimal Places Configuration: The rounding issue often arises from the configuration of decimal places for the material or the unit of measure. If the system is set to round quantities to a certain number of decimal places, and the actual quantity has more decimal places, this can trigger the error.
  
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Settings: The settings for the unit of measure may not align with the actual quantities being processed. For example, if a material is defined with a UoM that allows for fewer decimal places than the quantity being entered, rounding will occur.
  
  
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, and the batch has specific quantity constraints, this can also lead to rounding issues.
  
  
  Configuration in Material Master: The material master data may have settings that dictate how quantities are handled, including rounding rules.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Decimal Places: Review the configuration for the material in the material master (transaction code MM02) and ensure that the decimal places for the quantity are set correctly. Adjust the settings if necessary.
  
  
  Review Unit of Measure Settings: Ensure that the unit of measure settings for the material are appropriate and consistent with the quantities being processed. You can check this in the material master under the "Units of Measure" tab.
  
  
  Adjust Rounding Rules: If applicable, review the rounding rules in the configuration settings (transaction code OMR6) to ensure they align with your business requirements.
  
  
  Batch Management Settings: If batch management is in use, check the batch settings to ensure they are not causing the rounding issue.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that quantities are being processed correctly.
