Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?

There are two scenarios. While creating a Bill of material - based on the configuration (see below) if you enter a quantity with decimals for a part number for which the Basic UOM is EA the system displays a message "Unit of measure EA does not support decimal places" THIS IS GOOD AS EXPECTED

While transacting using MB1B, MB1C, MB1A, MFBF, MIGO or other transactions the system DOES NOT check and it is currently allowing us to post with decimals (1.25, 1.312) for part number for which the unit of measure is EA.

Was not EA supposed to be an indivisible unit of measure? why is the warning message getting activated while creating or changing a BOM and why not while transacting stock?

We have configured EA in the CUNI transaction as follows:

Int. meas. unit EA

Commercial EA each

Technical EA each

Decimal places

float. point exp.

ISO code EA

Primary code

Numerator 1

Denominator 1

Exponent 0

Additive constant 0.000000 X Commercial meas.unit

Decimal pl. rounding Value-based commt

Unit of meas.family
