  The SAP error message /SAPCE/IURU_MES048 Number &1 cannot be converted to floating point number typically indicates that there is an issue with the data type conversion in your SAP system.

  Causes:
  
  Invalid Format: The number being processed may contain invalid characters (e.g., letters, special characters) or may not be in a format that can be interpreted as a floating-point number.
  Locale Settings: The number format may not match the expected format based on the system's locale settings (e.g., using a comma instead of a period for decimal points).

  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the program to identify where the conversion is failing and inspect the value of the variable that is causing the issue.
