    To use decimal comma in SAP software, users must first enable it in the system settings. This can be done by going to the “System Settings” menu and selecting “Decimal Separator”. From there, users can select “Comma” as the decimal separator. Once enabled, users can enter numbers with a comma instead of a period as the decimal separator.
