  The SAP error message /SCDL/BO_VALIDATION050 indicates that there is an issue with a unit of measure (UoM) that has decimal places, which is not allowed in certain contexts within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with business objects that require specific formatting for units of measure.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A unit of measure that is defined with decimal places is being used in a context where only whole numbers are acceptable.
  The system is trying to process a quantity that is incompatible with the defined unit of measure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN1 (Define Units of Measure) in SAP.

  Adjust the Quantity:
  
  If the quantity being processed is not compatible with the unit of measure, adjust the quantity to ensure it is a whole number if the unit of measure does not allow decimals.
  
  
  
  Change the Unit of Measure:
  
  If the business process allows, consider changing the unit of measure to one that does not have decimal places or is more appropriate for the quantities being processed.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data (e.g., material master, info records) to ensure that the correct unit of measure is being used and that it aligns with the expected formats.
