  The SAP error message "SV076 Enter numbers only" typically occurs when a user attempts to input a value in a field that is expected to contain only numeric data, but the input includes non-numeric characters (such as letters, special characters, or spaces). This error is common in various SAP transactions and modules where numeric input is required, such as in financial entries, quantity fields, or other numerical data fields.

  Field Validation: Check if there are any specific requirements for the field (like minimum or maximum values) and ensure your input meets those criteria.
