  Cause:

  Rounding Rules: The rounding rules set in the system for the specific material or transaction type may lead to discrepancies when the system tries to allocate quantities.

  Adjust Allocation Quantity: If possible, manually adjust the allocation quantity to a value that does not trigger the rounding issue. This may involve changing the quantity in the relevant transaction or document.
  
  
  Unit of Measure Conversion: If the issue arises from unit of measure conversions, ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined and that they allow for the necessary precision.
