  The SAP error message RSAR748 indicates that there is an issue with the decimal places defined for an InfoObject in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises when the data being loaded into the InfoObject has more decimal places than what is allowed or defined for that InfoObject.
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Places Configuration: The InfoObject has been configured to not allow any decimal places, but the data being loaded contains decimal values.
  Data Source Mismatch: The source data might have a different decimal configuration than what is defined in the InfoObject.
  Transformation Rules: The transformation rules might not be correctly set up to handle the decimal values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAR748 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the properties of the InfoObject, specifically the "Decimal Places" setting. If it is set to 0, you may need to change it to allow for the required number of decimal places.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Source:
  
  Review the data source from which you are loading data. Ensure that the data type and decimal settings in the source match those of the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Modify Transformation:
  
  If you are using a transformation to load data, check the transformation rules. Ensure that the mapping of fields is correct and that any necessary rounding or conversion is applied to match the InfoObject's settings.
  
  
  
  Data Cleansing:
  
  If the source data contains values that exceed the allowed decimal places, consider cleansing the data before loading it into the InfoObject. This can involve rounding or truncating the values as necessary.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test load to ensure that the error is resolved.
