Decimal places upto 5 digit

[former_member416927]

Hi All,

I want to enter raw material qty in BOM upto 5 decimal places. I have configured UOM in CUNI and entered decimal places 5 and used same UOM in material master. But during creating BOM when I enter component qty as0.01583 systems giving me the error as "Input must be in the format _,___,___,__~.___V". Please suggest the solution.

Thanks.

Regards,

Mayur

Dear,

Only 3 decimal places are recommended in standard SAP. If you are having issue with decimal with component quantity in that case please use higher base quantity to define the component quantity.

Suppose for an example to manufacture 1 PC of FG you required 0.02 PC component.

in that case use base quantity as 100 and then then BOM component quantity will be 2 PC. (100 x 0.02)

Hope clear to you.

Hi Rupesh,

This will not work in this case as client want to consume exact raw material as raw materail cost is high.

Dear Mayur,

As per the standard SAP if you want to have correct cost and quantity consumption 3 decimal places are recommended to avoid any discrepancy in costing as 0.0001 will become 000 there. Also do the Consumption for higher quantity with respective order quantity.

Another option is use higher unit of measure like instate of Gram use Tone.

Hi,

In your case, maintain the lowest possible Unit as Base Unit. Though in CUNI you can provide upto 14 places of decimal for a UoM but the system will not allow you to post more than 3 decimal places as the domain MENG13 permits max 3 decimal places.

So it is advisable to use the smallest possible unit as the Base Unit e.g. If you decide to have a Base UoM as G (gram) and you wish to post 0.00112 gm, system will not allow, In those cases it is better you maintain Base UoM as MG (milligram) and the same amount will be reflected as 1.12 MG and system will permit that.

Hope this helps

Check out my reply in the following thread, as why it's not possible.

The above domain cannot be changed, as it is SAP standard.

Though CUNI allows 14 places of decimals system will not able to go more than 3 digits, is explained in the following note:

You'd need to user alternate unit of measure or a base unit which is small enough, example if the raw material is high value like gold, then you'd want to use the base unit as mg.
