• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU303 - Only &2 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure &1 ?

  The SAP error message RU303 indicates that there is an issue with the number of decimal places allowed for a specific unit of measure (UoM) in a transaction or data entry. This error typically arises when the system expects a certain format for the quantity being entered, but the input exceeds the allowed decimal places for that particular unit of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Places Configuration: Each unit of measure in SAP can be configured to allow a specific number of decimal places. If the unit of measure you are using is set to allow only two decimal places, but you are trying to enter a value with more than two decimal places, this error will occur.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have inadvertently entered a quantity with too many decimal places.
  Unit of Measure Settings: The settings for the unit of measure in the material master or other relevant configuration may not align with the expected input.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the unit of measure settings for the relevant material.
  Verify the number of decimal places allowed for the unit of measure in the "Basic Data" view.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input:
  
  If you are entering a quantity, ensure that it conforms to the allowed decimal places for the unit of measure. For example, if the UoM allows only two decimal places, ensure that your input does not exceed this.
  
  
  
  Change the Unit of Measure:
  
  If necessary, consider using a different unit of measure that allows for more decimal places, if applicable to your business process.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
