How To Fix XU052 - Changed conversion factor leads to value with too many decimal places

XU052 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XU - Messages for Quantity Conversion at Batch Level (Steel-AI)

• Message number: 052

• Message text: Changed conversion factor leads to value with too many decimal places

What causes this issue?

You have entered a quantity both in alternative units of measure and in
stockkeeping units for a material with product units. The system could
not calculate an exact conversion factor between stockkeeping unit and
alternative unit of measure.

System Response

The system calculates a conversion factor that can be represented
exactly. The system recalculates the quantities using this factor. The
resultant quantities had too many places after the decimal point.

How to fix this error?

Check the recalculated quantities.
If you do not want to transfer these values, enter the conversion
factor between the alternative unit of measure and the stockkeeping
unit in the batch classification. To do this, evaluate the
characteristic for the alternative unit of measure.
You can also overwrite the suggested quantities again.
Then, check whether your new entry is also transferred.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XU052 - Changed conversion factor leads to value with too many decimal places ?

  The SAP error message XU052 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion factor of a quantity that has been changed, resulting in a value that has too many decimal places for the system to handle. This typically occurs in scenarios involving unit of measure conversions, where the conversion factor leads to a result that exceeds the allowed number of decimal places for the target unit.
  
  Cause:
  
  Changed Conversion Factor: The conversion factor for a unit of measure has been modified, which can lead to a situation where the resulting value has more decimal places than the system allows.
  Decimal Places Configuration: The target unit of measure may have a defined limit on the number of decimal places, and the calculation based on the new conversion factor exceeds this limit.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry of quantities or conversion factors that do not conform to the expected format can also trigger this error.
