• Key Concepts: 
  A decimal number is a number that is expressed in the base 10 system, which consists of 10 digits (0-9). In SAP, a place in a decimal number is the position of a digit in the number. For example, in the number 123.45, the digit 1 is in the first place, 2 is in the second place, 3 is in the third place, and so on. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, places in decimal numbers are used to represent different values. For example, in the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment component, decimal numbers are used to represent currency values. The first place represents the whole number part of the value (e.g. 123), and the second place represents the fractional part of the value (e.g. 45). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with decimal numbers in SAP, it is important to remember that each place has a different value. For example, if you are working with currency values, it is important to remember that each place represents a different unit of currency (e.g. cents).
