• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG140 - Costs for currency &1 for plant have been rounded ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG140 - Costs for currency &1 for plant have been rounded
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during cost calculations or postings in SAP Controlling (CO) or Product Costing when the system rounds cost values for a particular currency and plant. The rounding happens because the calculated cost amounts have more decimal places than allowed by the currency or system settings, and SAP rounds these values to comply with currency decimal precision.
  Typically, this message is informational or a warning indicating that the system has adjusted cost values due to rounding rules. It can appear during activities such as:
  
  Costing runs (CK40N, CK11N)
  Cost rollups
  Settlement postings
  Actual cost postings
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Each currency in SAP has a defined number of decimal places (usually 2 for most currencies).
  Costing calculations might produce values with more decimal places.
  SAP rounds these values to the currency's decimal precision.
  The message informs the user that such rounding has taken place for the specified currency (&1) and plant.
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle:
  
  
  Check Currency Decimal Places:
  
  Verify the currency settings in transaction OB22.
  Ensure the decimal places for the currency are set correctly.
  If the currency decimal places are too low for your costing precision needs, consider adjusting them (note: changing currency decimal places affects the entire system and should be done with caution).
  
  
  
  Review Costing Settings:
  
  Check the costing variant and costing type settings.
  Review the number of decimal places allowed in costing (e.g., in CK11N or CK40N).
  Adjust rounding rules if necessary.
  
  
  
  Accept the Rounding:
  
  Often, this message is informational and does not indicate an error.
  If the rounding difference is insignificant, no action is needed.
  Document the message for audit purposes.
  
  
  
  Check Plant-Specific Settings:
  
  Sometimes plant-specific settings or currency assignments can cause unexpected rounding.
  Verify plant currency assignments in transaction OX02.
  
  
  
  Customizing for Rounding:
  
  In some cases, you can adjust rounding rules in SPRO under controlling or costing settings.
  For example, in Costing Variants, you can define rounding rules.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to rounding issues in costing for your SAP version.
  Sometimes SAP releases patches or notes to handle rounding more precisely.
  
  
  
  Impact:
  
  Rounding can cause minor differences in cost calculations.
  Important to monitor if rounding differences accumulate significantly.
