  SAP Error Message:
  WS106 - Enter a gross or net value
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to post or enter data in a transaction (commonly in Financial Accounting or Controlling modules) where the system expects either a gross amount or a net amount to be entered, but neither has been provided. The system requires at least one of these values to calculate taxes, totals, or for proper document posting.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Entering line items in vendor/customer invoices or credit memos.
  Entering amounts in cost center accounting or internal orders.
  Posting in transactions where tax calculation depends on gross or net values.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Gross value: The total amount including taxes.
  Net value: The amount excluding taxes.
  
  The system needs one of these values to proceed with tax calculations and document validation. If both are missing, it cannot determine the correct amounts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter either a gross or a net amount in the relevant field(s) on the screen.
  Check the input fields
