This error indicates that the number of decimal places for a specific parameter (represented by &1) exceeds the allowed maximum (represented by &2 and &3).
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Configuration: The error is often caused by a configuration issue where the number of decimal places for a certain field (like weight, volume, or cost) is set higher than what is allowed in the system settings.
  Data Entry: It can also occur if a user manually enters a value with too many decimal places in a transaction or during data entry.
  Master Data Issues: If the master data (like material master, vendor master, etc.) has been incorrectly configured with too many decimal places, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP TM for the relevant fields. Ensure that the number of decimal places allowed matches the values being entered or processed.
  
  Navigate to the relevant customizing settings in SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and check the decimal settings for the specific field.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Entry: If the error is due to user input, ensure that users are aware of the maximum number of decimal places allowed and adjust their entries accordingly.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Check the master data associated with the transaction. If any master data has been incorrectly set up with too many decimal places, correct it to comply with the system's limits.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to the specific transaction or configuration to understand the limits and how to adjust them.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
