• The SAP error message RSPLS520 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with queries that involve large numeric values. This error indicates that the data type of a certain field in your query is not suitable for handling large numbers, and it suggests using 'high precision' for queries that involve such values.

  Data Source Configuration: The underlying data source (e.g., InfoProvider, DSO, etc.) may not be configured to handle high precision data types.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use High Precision: Modify the query to use 'high precision' for the relevant fields. This
