• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01100 - Number of digits after decimal point rounded to no. of spaces displayed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01100 Number of digits after decimal point rounded to no. of spaces displayed
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when the number of decimal places in a numeric value exceeds the number of decimal places that can be displayed in the output field due to field length restrictions. SAP automatically rounds the number to fit the available display space.
  In other words, the system tries to display a number with more decimal digits than the field width allows, so it rounds the number to fit the number of decimal places that can be shown.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The output field has a fixed width (number of characters).
  The number to be displayed has more decimal places than the field can show.
  SAP rounds the number to the maximum decimal places that fit in the field.
  The message informs the user that rounding has occurred due to display limitations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the field width:
  
  If possible, adjust the layout or screen field length to allow more characters, so more decimal places can be displayed without rounding.
  
  
  Adjust decimal places in configuration:  
  
  Check the number of decimal places defined for the currency or unit of measure in customizing (e.g., transaction OBBS for currencies).
  Reduce the number of decimal places if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Accept the rounding:
  
  If the rounding does not affect calculations and is only a display issue, the message can be acknowledged and ignored.
  
  
  Modify output formatting:  
  
  In reports or forms, format the output to limit decimal places explicitly.
  Use ABAP formatting options to control decimal places.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational and does not indicate an error in processing.
  It is common in financial documents where currency or quantity fields have fixed display lengths.
  Check customizing for decimal places in:
  
  Currency settings (OBBS)
  Units of measure (CUNI)
  
  
  In ABAP, the WRITE statement or formatting options can control decimal places and field width.
  If this message appears frequently and causes confusion, consider adjusting the UI or reports to better handle decimal places.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Number has more decimal places than the display field can show; SAP rounds the number.
  Solution: Increase field length, adjust decimal places in customizing, or accept the rounding.
  Message type: Informational, related to display formatting.
