• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEAPO_CMPID006 - Unit &1 permits a maximum of &2 decimal places ?

  The SAP error message PPEAPO_CMPID006 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) in your SAP system is configured to allow a maximum of a certain number of decimal places, but the value you are trying to enter exceeds that limit. 
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to enter a quantity or a value in a field that uses a unit of measure (UoM) that has a defined limit on the number of decimal places.
  The value you are entering has more decimal places than the UoM allows.
  
  For example, if the UoM is set to allow only 2 decimal places, and you try to enter a value like 123.456, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN1 (Define Units of Measure) in SAP.
  Look for the specific unit of measure that you are using (e.g., KG, L, etc.).
  Check the configuration for the maximum number of decimal places allowed for that unit.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Value:
  
  If the UoM is correctly configured, you may need to adjust the value you are trying to enter to comply with the allowed number of decimal places.
  For example, if the UoM allows 2 decimal places, round your value to fit that requirement (e.g., change 123.456 to 123.46).
  
  
  
  Change the UoM Configuration (if necessary):
  
  If you need to allow more decimal places for the UoM, you can change the configuration in the unit of measure settings. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorization and understanding of the implications on existing data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the UoM configuration, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
