• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD_CUST_MAT_MNT_MSG010 - No significant decimal places allowed for unit &1 ?

  The SAP error message SD_CUST_MAT_MNT_MSG010 with the description "No significant decimal places allowed for unit &1" typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) configuration in the system. This error indicates that the unit of measure being used does not allow for decimal places, but the quantity being entered has decimal values.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The unit of measure (UoM) defined in the material master or sales document may be set up as a whole number unit (e.g., pieces, boxes) that does not permit decimal quantities.
  Quantity Entry: The user may be trying to enter a quantity with decimal places (e.g., 1.5), but the UoM does not support this.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have been configured incorrectly, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the UoM settings in the Basic Data view and Sales Org view.
  Ensure that the UoM allows for decimal places if you need to enter quantities with decimals.
  
  
  
  Change the Quantity:
  
  If the UoM does not allow decimals, you can change the quantity you are trying to enter to a whole number that is compatible with the UoM.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master:
  
  If you need to use decimal quantities, consider changing the UoM in the material master to one that allows decimals (e.g., changing from "pieces" to "kilograms" if applicable).
  This can be done using transaction code MM02 to modify the material master.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the UoM or if it impacts other processes, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant to ensure that changes are made correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure Types: Understand the different types of UoMs in SAP and their configurations. Some UoMs are defined as "non-decimal" (e.g., EA - Each) while others can be decimal (e.g., KG - Kilogram).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring units of measure and material master records.
  Testing: After making changes, test the entry again to ensure that the error does not occur.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message SD_CUST_MAT_MNT_MSG010 effectively.
