• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_ASN232 - Quantity entered <&1> is not numeric ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_ASN232 Quantity entered <&1> is not numeric indicates that the system has encountered a non-numeric value where it expected a numeric quantity. This typically occurs in scenarios where a quantity is being entered in a transaction or a program, and the input does not conform to the expected numeric format.
  Cause:
  
  Input Error: The user may have entered a value that includes letters, special characters, or spaces instead of a numeric value.
  Data Type Mismatch: The field where the quantity is being entered may be defined to accept only numeric values, and any non-numeric input will trigger this error.
  Formatting Issues: If the numeric value is formatted incorrectly (e.g., using commas instead of periods for decimal points), it may not be recognized as a valid number.
  Copy-Paste Issues: Sometimes, copying and pasting values from other sources (like Excel) can introduce hidden characters or formatting that makes the input non-numeric.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input: Ensure that the quantity entered is purely numeric. Remove any letters, special characters, or spaces.
  Correct Formatting: If you are entering decimal values, ensure that you are using the correct decimal separator as per your system's locale settings (e.g., use a period instead of a comma if required).
  Re-enter the Value: Manually type the quantity instead of copying and pasting it to avoid hidden characters.
  Field Validation: If you are developing or customizing a program, ensure that the field is properly validated to accept only numeric values.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected format, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help files for guidance on the specific transaction or program.
