How To Fix VL269 - Qty representation in float data format &1 inconsistent with packed &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 269

• Message text: Qty representation in float data format &1 inconsistent with packed &2

What causes this issue?

There is an inconsistency in the internal expression of a quantity.

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

Quantities are normally recorded in the database in packed format, but
internal invoices figured to a high degree of accuracy are handled in
float data format.
During conversion (rounding) into packed format, every expression in
float must always yield a value equal to the one found in the packed
value.
This can no longer be guaranteed in this case. Value &v1& results in
&v2& after conversion, rather than the required &v3&.
