  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL110 Length characteristic value assignment has too many decimal places typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with characteristic values that are defined with a specific number of decimal places. This error indicates that the value being assigned to a length characteristic exceeds the allowed number of decimal places defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Places Configuration: The characteristic in question is configured to accept a certain number of decimal places (e.g., 2 decimal places for length), but the value being assigned has more decimal places than allowed (e.g., 3 or more).

  Data Validation:
  
  Implement validation checks in your data entry or data import processes to ensure that values conform to the defined characteristics before they are processed.
