Difference of decimal place in SAP R/3 and BW

Hello SAP experts,
I am extracting purchasing data from SAP R/3 using datasource 2LIS_02_SCL.
In BW I see a difference of one decimal place.
In RSA3 amount is shown as 17.350,00
Whereas in PSA above value is displayed as 1.735,000
Decimal notations are same in both R/3 and BW.
Please help me to understand the reason behind difference in values.
Thanks and Regards
Shilpa

Hello All,
The issue is resolved. The difference in Amount is due to different decimal configuration settings in TCURX table in both R/3 and BW. Ideally these settings should be same in R/3 and BW. If decimal settings doesn't match misalignment has to be taken care of either in ETL or during query design.
Thanks and Regards

Increase decimal Places in SAP B1

Dear Experts,
(Using SAP B1 PL 49)
I am trying to change the Decimal places in the General Settings->Display (Decimal Places), from 2 to 6 to in all the fields.
When i try to update it gives me the following error:-
"Cannot update while another user is connected to the company"
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Feroz

Dear Asif,
Thank you for the information.
I logged all the users out from the SAP server and i stopped the SQL services and then re-started the SQL services again.
I logged into SAP b1, but was getting the same error message.
I removed the network cable of the server and I restarted the SAP server and then logged into SAP and tried to change the decimal places, but was still getting the same error message.
I'm all out of ideas, this has never happened before to me.

Feroz.

Change of the quantity field to 5 decimal places in SAP

Hi Gurus,
The quantity field is appearing with 3 decimal places in BOM, Process Order, etc. Is it possible to make the decimal places to 5.
All the decimal digits from SAP are 3 digits. We have an interface through which the data flows from another legacy system (Fow system) to SAP. And the Fow system setting was 5 digits. The issue is some of the raw material requirement qty was really minor and it might be below the decimal 3 digits.
In that case, when the data flows to SAP from Fow system it will cause the material stage failure. so please help me to investigate how to let the SAP also could have the 5 digits decimal. Thanks.
Regards
Brijesh

Dear ,
Its SAP standard ,to put and use decimal places in BOM qty .You can use upto 3 decimal places in BOM qty.
At SE11 you need to see what measure field is linked to the quantity field.Then goto tranaction CUNI and chage the decimal places of the unit of measure for the qty field unit , it will not allow you more than 3 decimal places in case of BOM qty.
You have following choice :
1. With the access key make changes in the standard program and take help from ABAPer
SAPLCSDI, Table Name-RC29P, Field Name- MENGE.
2) Change the base quantity in BOM header to 1000 aand accordingly change the component quantity.
Hope this is clear

SAPUI5 Decimal Places in sap.m.ColumnListItem

Hi all,
I have an odata binding to a table using a column list template. One of the fields is an amount and because of currency conversion the data is (correctly) returning the amount to 4 decimal places. I have tried a number of different approaches but am unable to get the template to render the data to 2 decimal places:
       var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("services/livesales.xsodata", false);
       oModel.setCountSupported(false);
       var worldTemplate = new sap.m.ColumnListItem({
       cells: [
     new sap.m.ObjectIdentifier({
      title: "{LAND1}",
         visible: false
     new sap.m.ObjectIdentifier({
      title: "{LANDX}"
     new sap.m.ObjectNumber({
      number:"{EXT_NET_PRICE_CENTRAL}",
      unit : "GBP",
I've seen a suggestion from DJ that seems to acheive desired results for a sap.m.ObjectListItem
template : new sap.m.ObjectListItem({
type : "Active",
title : "{ProductName}",
numberUnit : "EUR",
attributes : [ new sap.m.ObjectAttribute({
text : "{QuantityPerUnit}"
number : {
path : "UnitPrice",
type : new sap.ui.model.type.Float({
maxFractionDigits : 2
but I don't think this syntax is valid for a sap.m.ColumnListItem
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon

Thanks for the reply DJ.
I bind the template to a table later on (as part of a pull to refresh control:
     salesList.bindItems({
       path: "/SALES",
       parameters: {
       select: "LAND1,LANDX,EXT_NET_PRICE_CENTRAL"
       filters:
      [new sap.ui.model.Filter("BUSINESS_DATE", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.GE, today),
      new sap.ui.model.Filter("VTEXT", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.NE, 'Direct')],
       template: worldTemplate
and the declaration of the table is as follows:
var salesList = new sap.m.Table({
         headerText: "Store Sales By Country",
         noDataText: "Refreshing",
                columns: [
                          new sap.m.Column({
                            header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Country Code"}),
                            minScreenWidth: "Phone",
                            visible: false
                        new sap.m.Column({
                        header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Country"}),
                        minScreenWidth: "Phone"
                        new sap.m.Column({
                        header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Net Sales"}),
                        minScreenWidth: "Phone"
                     ...(some other stuff here)
So with your example the template and binding are combined but mine is separated to I'm struggling to figure out the syntax.   I'm a bit of a hacker when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Save data with more than 6 decimal places in SAP MDM 5.5

Hi there,
I need some help concerning saving data with about 20 decimal places (e.g. 0,00452961328622164) in MDM. I declared the datatyp "REAL", there are only 6 decimal places possible.
How can I save this Data? Maybe exponential function?
Please help.
Thank you

currency takes you to 14 decimal places, if you want to have it as a little work around....you can always take out that symbol if it is annoying.(ohhh and decimal is multilingual too in currency, probably not a good hack!)
or without even knwoing what your requirement is? try normalizing the value, How many more decimal places can you hit?
One 100 1. "ten to the zero"
tenth 10-1 0.1 "ten to the minus one"
hundredth 10-2 0.01. "ten to the minus two"
thousandth 10-3 0.001. "ten to the minus three"
ten thousand 10-4 0.0001. "ten to the minus four"
hundred thousandth 10-5 0.00001. "ten to the minus five"
millionth 10-6 0.000001 "ten to the minus six"
ten millionth 10-7 0.0000001. "ten to the minus seven"
hundred millionth 10-8 0.00000001. "ten to the minus eight"
billionth 10-9 0.000000001. "ten to the minus nine"
ten billionth 10-10 0.0000000001. "ten to the minus ten"
hundred billionth 10-11 0.00000000001. "ten to the minus eleven"
trillionth 10-12 0.000000000001 "ten to the minus twelve"
ten trillionth 10-13 0.0000000000001. "ten to the minus thirteen"
hundred trillionth 10-14 0.00000000000001. "ten to the minus fourteen"
and put that field label indicating the 10th power. Like "Accuracy in 10 POW -9"
Just a wild guess.well thats how we usually show data in catalogues too!
(or)
separate the integer and decimal portions into two fields and store it in the repository.(split on ',')

Increase decimal places in the PO quantity and Price

Hi All,
Can the decimal places in the PO( ME21N) creation be increased more than 3 decimal places in quantity and price?
I did changes in UOM's in CUNI, I increased the decimal places upto 14 but still it does not take more than three i-e., 0.001 maximum.
Is there any other way to handle this?
Request inputs on this.
Note 569326 - ME9F: Customized decimal places are not taken into account........ found this OSS but this correction instruction is not for our pack level ECC 6.0
Best regards,
Sridhar

hi
In case if you are already working in production remember that decimal places should not change. It will affect all previous data.
For your problem best solution is make order unit as 1000. So that your problem will solve
e.g. instead of 2.009 inr for 1 Unit use 2009 inr for 1000 unit.

Question about decimal places for currencies

hi ,experts ,
   here is the problem , when i use mb5s, i found the net price has been enlarged 1000 times . I also found the data of the table EKPO has been enlarged 1000 times. So ,i check the decimal places for currencies , i found there are five decimal places , the standard system is two decimal places .
   Does this mean that we cann't change the decimal places in SAP? If we can change , what should we do for configuration ？

Changing Decimal places

Hi Experts,
I have this strange problem for one of our clients. He is using SAP 2007, he wants to decrease the decimal places . I have told him that it is not possible to decrease the decimal places in 2007 version of SAP.
However it is important for him to decrease the amounts and quantity field due to one of the external add on. I have suggested him to create a new company, change the decimal places, then use copy express and DTW for copying and importing data from the old database
Can you let me know if there are any other ideas/thoughts to achieve this ?
regards
Johnson

Hi,
In version 2007 you cannot decrease the decimal places.
The reason why it was changed was due to Rounding inconsistencies which were happening due to the changing of the decimals during the course of the Business.
It will not be possible to decrease the decimal places from already set.

Hi,
you need to write program lines in order to check the first,second and thrid decimal places with the following code and then display accrodingly the values.
LV_DEC_PART = FRAC( TABLE-FIELD ).
then in insert three text nodes with the same field with offsets.
&TABLE-FIELD.0& with the condition LV_DEC_PART+0(1) = 0.
&TABLE-FIELD.1& with the condition LV_DEC_PART0(2) = 0 AND LV_DEC_PART0(1) # 0.
&TABLE-FIELD.2& with the condition LV_DEC_PART0(3) = 0 AND LV_DEC_PART0(1) # 0 AND LV_DEC_PART+0(2) # 0.

Double to 2 decimal places

I am putting a double variable out to a web page and also calculations on that double(a price). I am getting 4 decimal places on the original price and several decimal places on the calculations. Can anyone tell me how to round down to 2 decimal places?
Thank you.
Karen

I generally use a formatter along the lines of the following. You could also use a wrapper class (Double is final, and you can't extend primitives) for Double which would incorperate this formatting. However you only need to use it when you are presenting it (or if you are persisting it to a lower precision data source, where truncation could result in larger inaccuracies creeping in).
This also changes the ROUND_HALF_EVEN behaviour of DecimalFormat to ROUND_HALF_UP.
Alternatively you could use BigDecimal (.setScale() to set decimal places) but there is an overhead which may be restrictive.
class Formatter {
public static final int DEFAULT_PRECISION = 2;
public static final String DEFAULT_PATTERN = "#.00";
public static final String ZEROS = "0000000000000000";
public static String convertDoubleToString(Double d) {
    return convertDoubleToString(round(d, DEFAULT_PRECISION), DEFAULT_PATTERN);
public static String convertDoubleToString(double d) {
    return convertDoubleToString(round(d, DEFAULT_PRECISION), DEFAULT_PATTERN);
public static String convertDoubleToString(Double d, int precision) {
    return convertDoubleToString(round(d, precision), "#." + ZEROS.substring(precision));
public static String convertDoubleToString(double d, int precision) {
    return convertDoubleToString(round(d, precision), "#." + ZEROS.substring(precision));
public static String convertDoubleToString(Double d, String pattern) {
    return new DecimalFormat(pattern).format(d.doubleValue());
public static String convertDoubleToString(double d, String pattern) {
    return new DecimalFormat(pattern).format(d);
private static final double round(Double d, int precision) {
    double factor = Math.pow(10, precision);
    return Math.round((d.doubleValue() * factor)) / factor;
private static final double round(double d, int precision) {
    double factor = Math.pow(10, precision);
    return Math.round((d * factor)) / factor;
}
