  Check the Value: Review the value you are trying to enter and ensure it conforms to the maximum decimal places allowed. For example, if the field allows a maximum of 2 decimal places, round your value accordingly (e.g., change 3.456 to 3.46).
  Field Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the field settings in the relevant transaction or table to see if the maximum decimal places can be adjusted. This typically requires authorization and should be done with caution.
