  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TT150 - The input & must be numeric ?

    The SAP error message TT150 ("The input & must be numeric") typically occurs when a user inputs a value in a field that is expected to contain a numeric value, but the input is either non-numeric or formatted incorrectly. This can happen in various SAP transactions or reports where numeric input is required, such as in fields for quantities, amounts, or other numerical data.

    Cause:

    1. Non-numeric Input: The user may have entered letters, special characters, or spaces instead of numbers.
    2. Incorrect Formatting: The input may be in a format that SAP does not recognize as numeric (e.g., using commas instead of periods for decimal points).
    3. Field Length Exceeded: The input may exceed the maximum length allowed for the numeric field.
    4. Leading/Trailing Spaces: Extra spaces before or after the numeric input can cause this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Input: Ensure that the input consists only of numeric characters (0-9) and, if applicable, a decimal point.
    2. Correct Formatting: Use the correct format for numbers as required by your locale settings (e.g., use a period for decimal points if that is the standard in your region).
    3. Remove Spaces: Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the input field.
    4. Field Length: Verify that the input does not exceed the maximum length defined for the field.
    5. Use Numeric Keypad: If applicable, use the numeric keypad on your keyboard to enter numbers to avoid accidental non-numeric characters.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes where numeric input is required, such as creating or updating master data, entering financial transactions, etc.
    • User Training: Providing training to users on the correct input formats and data entry practices can help reduce the occurrence of this error.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Support Portal for any specific notes related to the transaction or module you are working with, as there may be additional context or fixes available.
