• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAR165 - Currency amount transferred with more than & digits after decimal point ?

  The SAP error message RSAR165 indicates that a currency amount being transferred has more than the allowed number of digits after the decimal point. This typically occurs in data transfer processes, such as when using SAP Data Services, SAP BW, or during data extraction and loading operations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a currency amount that exceeds the defined precision for currency fields in SAP. In most cases, SAP allows a maximum of two decimal places for currency amounts (e.g., 123.45). If the amount being processed has more than two decimal places (e.g., 123.456), the system will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR165 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Source: Review the data source from which the currency amounts are being extracted. Ensure that the amounts conform to the expected format and precision.
  
  
  Data Transformation: If you are using a data transformation tool (like SAP Data Services), you may need to implement a transformation step to round or truncate the currency amounts to two decimal places before they are loaded into SAP.
  
  
  Adjust Data Mapping: In the data mapping configuration, ensure that the target fields in SAP are set to accept only two decimal places. This may involve changing the data type or precision settings in the target data model.
  
  
  Validation Rules: Implement validation rules in your ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to catch and correct any currency amounts that exceed the allowed precision before they are sent to SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, perform testing to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Currency Configuration: Review the currency configuration in your SAP system to understand the allowed formats and precision for currency fields.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP BW, SAP S/4HANA) for best practices on handling currency data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSAR165 error and ensure that currency amounts are processed correctly in your SAP environment.
