5 Decimal places for a key-figure

Former Member

Dear Gurus,

We have a small situation here and need your help.

Client is requesting for 5 decimal places accuracy in terms of display in PB and saving to DB. In order to do that, I changed the key figure settings in planning area to u201CM: maximum number decimal places u201Cand also, changed the key figure settings via PB->design mode for decimal display till 5.

Even though the value in the planning book is able to show the data till 5 decimals, it is getting rounded off till 3 decimals.

For example we set to 5 decimals and feed 10.56472, it will round off to 10.56500.

Do you have any suggestion on how to get rid of this issue? We are using SCM 7.0. Is there any way to override this standard functionality of SAP and can we keep the accurate decimal places up to 5?

Fyi, As per SAP note 389760 which is dated 04.02.04 we canu2019t store data more than 3 decimal points in the live cache. I am not really sure if SAP considered Maximum number of decimal places key figure setting during the note release.

Regards,

Gurucharan.

Hi,

this is rather a technical restriction. The LiveCache can store up to 3 decimal places. Not nore. So setting the number of decimal places will not really help here.

What you could do is to store the data in a smaller unit of measure. For example using Kilograms instead of TONS. In this case you will be able to display the TONS with 5 decimal places.

Hi,

Check the max number of decimal places for the UOM in CUNI transaction.IF the same is 3 decimal then then the same problems can come as you mentioned.

If the same is not 5 then make the same as 5 and try again.

Hope this can help
