• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC814 - Enter only numeric values ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC814: Enter only numeric values
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user enters non-numeric characters in a field that expects only numeric input. The system validation for that particular field enforces numeric-only data, and any alphabetic or special characters cause this error.
  Typically, this happens in SAP modules where numeric input is mandatory, such as quantity fields, numeric IDs, or numeric parameters in planning or forecasting transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the input field: Ensure that only digits (0-9) are entered in the field triggering the error.
  Remove any spaces, letters, or special characters: Sometimes copy-pasting data can introduce hidden characters.
  Use correct data format: If the field expects an integer, do not enter decimal points or commas unless allowed.
  Validate user input: If this error occurs frequently, consider adding input help or validation checks on the frontend to prevent invalid entries.
  Check for custom code or user exits: If the error is triggered by custom validation logic, review the code to ensure it correctly handles input.
