• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+575 - Enter a positive number ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W+575 Enter a positive number
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when a user enters a number that is zero or negative in a field where only positive numbers are allowed. The system expects a positive numeric value (greater than zero), but the input does not meet this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the input value: Ensure that the number you are entering is strictly positive (greater than zero).
  Correct the entry: Replace zero or negative numbers with a valid positive number.
  Field context: Verify the field’s purpose to understand why only positive numbers are allowed (e.g., quantity, amount, percentage).
  Data validation: If the input is coming from an external source or calculation, review the logic to prevent zero or negative values.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so the system allows you to continue after acknowledging it, but it is recommended to correct the value.

  If you frequently encounter this message unexpectedly, check for custom validations or user-exits that enforce positive number rules.
