How To Fix VL265 - Quantity ratio &1:&2 with ratio &3:&4 cannot be expressed exactly

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 265

• Message text: Quantity ratio &1:&2 with ratio &3:&4 cannot be expressed exactly

What causes this issue?

You have entered conversion ratio &v1& : &v2 = &v3& : &v4& for amounts
&v1& and &v2&. The two ratios deviate, however.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The difference between the two ratios is less than 0.000001. A more
exact expression of the quatitative ratio would only be possible using
a conversion factor in float data format.
