• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURL156 - Enter "+" or "-" ?

  The SAP error message VHURL156, which prompts the user to "Enter '+' or '-'", typically occurs in the context of certain transactions or data entry fields where a specific input format is expected. This error is often related to the entry of values that require a sign indicator, such as in financial transactions or when specifying quantities.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Input: The user may have entered a value without the required sign. For example, if the system expects a positive or negative value (like a quantity or amount), and the user enters just a number (e.g., "100" instead of "+100" or "-100"), the error will be triggered.
  Field Configuration: The field may be configured to only accept signed values, and the absence of a sign leads to this error.
  Data Validation: The system has built-in validation rules that enforce the requirement for a sign in certain fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input: Ensure that you are entering the value with the correct sign. If the value is positive, prefix it with a "+", and if it is negative, prefix it with a "-".
  
  Example: Instead of entering 100, enter +100 for a positive value or -100 for a negative value.
  
  
  
  Review Field Requirements: Look at the field description or documentation to confirm whether it requires a signed value. This can often be found in the help documentation or by consulting with a system administrator.
  
  
  Consult with IT Support: If you are unsure about the requirements or if the error persists after correcting the input, it may be helpful to reach out to your IT support team or SAP administrator for further assistance.
