Interactive Demand Planning - Distribution Function error

[Former Member]

Hi

A user is experiencing an error:

"Entry cannot be interpreted as floating point number" "/sapapo/ma880"

when

User is in Interactive Demand Planning book

on planning material level

key figure - Target Setting loaded

and trying to use the "Distrubtion Function" calculator icon

Entering the relvant value (with or without decimal) to multiply and execute

the error appears.

Other users executing the exact same procedure do not get this error message

I cannot find any notes or any blog posts on this error.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance

Hello Frans,

This above error comes when you use special characters in distribution function.

And I think you are using (.) for decimal so please use (,) and your issue should be resolved.

Thanks,

Thanks for your assistance Anurag! 

It appears the user setting was set to (,) as decimal and not (.) which caused the problem.
