• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECON306 - Unit &1 does not permit decimal places ?

  The SAP error message PPECON306 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) does not allow decimal places. This typically occurs in scenarios where the system expects a whole number for quantities, but a decimal value is being entered.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to enter a quantity in a unit of measure that is defined as a whole number (e.g., pieces, items) but you are providing a decimal value (e.g., 1.5).
  The unit of measure settings in the material master or configuration do not allow for decimal quantities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the unit of measure settings for the material in question. Look for the "Base Unit of Measure" and any alternative units of measure.
  Ensure that the unit of measure you are using is set up to allow decimal places if you need to enter decimal quantities.
  
  
  
  Change the Quantity:
  
  If the unit of measure does not allow decimal places, you will need to enter a whole number instead of a decimal. For example, instead of entering 1.5, you would enter 1 or 2.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can review the configuration settings for units of measure in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path to check the settings for units of measure and adjust them if necessary.
