• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEDI_CMPID006 - Unit &1 permits a maximum of &2 decimal places ?

  The SAP error message PPEDI_CMPID006 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) is configured to allow a maximum of a certain number of decimal places, but the value being entered exceeds that limit. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning or inventory management when dealing with quantities that are associated with units of measure.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to enter a quantity in a unit of measure that has been defined in the system to allow only a limited number of decimal places (e.g., 2 decimal places).
  The value you are trying to input has more decimal places than the unit allows (e.g., entering 1.234 when the unit allows only 2 decimal places).
  
  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 is causing the error and check its configuration.
  Verify the number of decimal places allowed for that unit.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input Value:
  
  If the unit of measure is correct and you cannot change its configuration, you will need to adjust the value you are entering to comply with the allowed decimal places.
  For example, if the unit allows 2 decimal places, round your input to two decimal places (e.g., change 1.234 to 1.23).
  
  
  
  Change the Unit of Measure (if applicable):
  
  If the business process allows, consider using a different unit of measure that permits more decimal places, if that aligns with your operational requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you believe the configuration needs to be changed to accommodate your business needs, consult with your SAP configuration team or system administrator to discuss the possibility of adjusting the decimal places allowed for that unit.
