• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPP_PP_K036 - Unit &1 has more than &3 decimal places ?

  The SAP error message UPP_PP_K036 indicates that a unit of measure (UoM) has more decimal places than allowed in the system. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or inventory management when the system expects a certain precision for quantities, but the unit of measure being used exceeds that precision.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The unit of measure (UoM) defined in the system has been set up with more decimal places than the allowed limit for the specific context (e.g., material master, production order).
  Data Entry Error: During data entry, a quantity may have been entered with too many decimal places, exceeding the defined limits for that UoM.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have a UoM that is not configured correctly, leading to discrepancies in expected decimal places.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN1 (Define Units of Measure) to review the configuration of the unit of measure in question.
  Ensure that the number of decimal places for the UoM is set correctly according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master Settings:
  
  Use transaction code MM02 to change the material master record.
  Check the UoM settings in the Basic Data view and ensure that the UoM used for the material is appropriate and does not exceed the decimal limits.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Correction:
  
  If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the quantity being entered to ensure it adheres to the allowed decimal places for the UoM.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the relevant modules (like MM, PP) to ensure that they align with the business processes and requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Decimal Places in SAP: Different modules in SAP may have different settings for the number of decimal places allowed for quantities. It is essential to ensure consistency across the system.
  Unit of Measure Groups: Sometimes, units of measure are grouped, and the settings for these groups can affect how many decimal places are allowed.
  Documentation and Help: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on configuring units of measure and handling related errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the UPP_PP_K036 error and ensure that your unit of measure settings are correctly configured.
