• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TAL010 - Decimal values are rounded to integers when the unit of measure is "each" ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TAL010 indicates that decimal values are being rounded to integers when the unit of measure (UoM) is set to "each." This typically occurs in scenarios where the system expects whole numbers for quantities, such as when dealing with items that are counted individually rather than measured in fractional units.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The unit of measure "each" (or "EA") is designed to represent whole items. Therefore, any decimal values entered for quantities will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
  Data Entry: Users may inadvertently enter decimal values for quantities when the system is configured to only accept whole numbers for the specified UoM.
  Business Logic: The business process may require that certain items are only counted in whole numbers, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Unit of Measure: If the business process allows for it, consider using a different unit of measure that can accommodate decimal values (e.g., "kilograms," "liters," etc.) instead of "each."
  Adjust Data Entry Practices: Ensure that users are aware of the limitations of the "each" unit of measure and instruct them to enter whole numbers only.
  Review Business Requirements: If decimal quantities are necessary for certain items, review the business requirements and consider whether the UoM should be changed for those specific items.
  Custom Development: If the rounding behavior is not acceptable and cannot be resolved through configuration, consider discussing with your SAP development team to explore custom solutions that can handle decimal quantities appropriately.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Review the SAP Help Portal for information on units of measure and how they are configured in the system.
  User Training: Provide training for users on how to enter quantities correctly based on the unit of measure being used.
  Testing: Conduct thorough testing in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that any changes made do not adversely affect other processes.
  
  By addressing the cause of the error and implementing the suggested solutions, you can mitigate the issue of decimal values being rounded to integers when using the "each" unit of measure in SAP.
