  The SAP error message PPER3E_CMPID006 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) is being used in a context where it exceeds the allowed number of decimal places. The message typically follows this format:
  
  Unit &1: This is the unit of measure that is causing the issue.
  Maximum of &2 decimal places: This indicates the maximum number of decimal places that are allowed for that unit.
  
  Cause
  The error occurs when a value is entered for a quantity or measurement that has more decimal places than what is defined for the specified unit of measure in the SAP system. For example, if the unit of measure is defined to allow only 2 decimal places, but the user tries to enter a value with 3 or more decimal places, this error will be triggered.
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN1 (Define Units of Measure) to check the configuration of the unit of measure in question.
  Verify the number of decimal places allowed for the unit of measure. If necessary, adjust the configuration to allow for more decimal places, if that is appropriate for your business needs.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input Value:
  
  If changing the configuration is not an option, you can modify the value you are trying to enter to ensure it complies with the allowed number of decimal places. For example, if the unit allows 2 decimal places, round the value to fit this requirement.
  
  
  
  Review Related Master Data:
  
  Check if the master data (like material master, vendor master, etc.) is using the correct unit of measure and that the values entered are within the allowed limits.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
