  Check Field Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the specific field in the SAP system to determine the allowed number of decimal places. This can often be found in the customizing settings for the relevant module.
  Adjust Input Value: Modify the value being entered to ensure it complies with the allowed number of decimal places. For example, if the field allows only two decimal places, round the value accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction or module to understand the expected input format.
  System Settings: If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to see if the decimal place settings can be adjusted to accommodate the required precision, though this should be done with caution as it may affect other areas of the system.
