How to fix this error?

decimal places, this is supported if you choose the <LS>format</><ZH>
external</>. The system then automatically converts the data in
accordance with the table TCURX into the SAP internal format.
However, SAP recommends specifying two decimal places in the structure

errors. Amount fields with two decimal places are expected from all
other processing steps (display, transformations, InfoObjects).
