Hi Imran,

I believe you are in an oil & gas industry environment.

It is not possible to have more than 3 decimals as allowed in standard SAP.

Though it is possible though ABAP, but not advisable to do so, as you would need to affect this throughout all the modules to integrate with this change. In addition, you may encounter field overflow issue should a large amount appear in the "total" or "sum" value with inclusion of 5 decimals (max: 13-digits).

Thanks.

Hope this helps.
