• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VCH_L2A_CHECKS116 - Integer characterstics with In-List having float values is not supported ?

  The SAP error message VCH_L2A_CHECKS116 indicates that there is an issue with the use of integer characteristics in a context where float values are being used in an "In-List" operation. This typically occurs in the context of data processing or reporting where the system expects integer values but encounters floating-point numbers instead.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The error arises when the system is trying to evaluate a list of values for an integer characteristic, but the values provided in the list are of a floating-point type (e.g., decimal numbers).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the characteristic settings or the way the data is being processed, leading to the inclusion of float values where only integers are expected.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or data import processes may have introduced float values into fields that should only contain integers.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data being processed to ensure that all values in the "In-List" are integers. If there are float values, they need to be converted to integers or removed from the list.
  Adjust Characteristic Settings: If the characteristic is defined to accept only integer values, ensure that the data being fed into it adheres to this requirement. You may need to adjust the characteristic definition if float values are necessary.
  Data Cleansing: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, perform data cleansing to correct the values in the database or data source.
  Review Queries/Reports: If this error occurs in a report or query, review the logic to ensure that it is correctly handling the data types. Modify the query to filter or convert float values appropriately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling characteristics and data types in your version of SAP.
