Changing decimal place of price field

Hi Experts,
Can any one let me know the impact of changing decimal place of 2 digit to 3 digit for the field NETPR & NETWR in EKPO table?
Requirement is to maintain very negligible amount like 0.001 for some of the items in PIR, contract and PO.
Suitable answer will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Pushparajh S.

0,01 per 10 is certainly zero and this is not allowed.
Where is this getting rounded? can you name the field?
Of course it does not make sense if you just order a quantity of 1 haivng a price with 3 decimals when the currency allows only 2 decimals, because you cannot pay the 3rd decimal.
such prices make only sense if you buy huge quantities. e.g. 20000 kg with a price of 1,255 Euro per KG,
this is a total of 25100 Euro then, and here the 3rd decimal is about 100 Euro for the total quantity.

Change the decimal places of a field in screen table control

HI ,
I have a MENGE field having data element as , BSTMG (decimals 3 ).
This field MENGE , I have used in a table control. The value in this field is filled from a custom Z-table where the same data element BSTMG is used. So , for eq.) value in MENGE field is shown as 6.010
But the requirement is that the value should be displayed as only 2 decemals i.e.) 6.01
I dont want to change the domain of the field in the Z-table , to 2 decimal places , because the table is used in other developments also , so it will give a dump there which I have to correct in other developments also.
So , is there any way to change the decimal places of a field in screen table control , without changing the domain , in the table from where the value is fetched... ????
Edited by: abhijeet_7013 on Feb 14, 2011 3:18 PM

Hi, create a structure in local program with same field names and change the TYPE with some 2 decimal domain of MENGE. Populate this local stucture and use it in TABLE CONTROL.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Changing Decimal Places for Currencies (Table V_TCURX)

The instance is ECC 6.0
We need to change the decimal places for a currency from 0 to 2 decimal places. Is there any impacts of doing that?
Also need to add some currencies which are not in the table. Is there anything need to be careful while doing this. If this table is updated, do we need to update any other tables also which may be impacted?

Hi,
It is not recommended that when postings have already been made, that a change in the currency be done, as amounts posted can become invalid or incorrect as a result (ie USD 100->1.00), which is most critical in production environment Please go through the note 137626 When you made changes via OY04, the effect of which is across all clients.
To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect, in a productive system.
You must never change decimal places in a productive system if you have documents posted with this currency. Such a change could lead to inconsistencies in these documents already posted.
In case you really decide to use decimals you may consider to use SAP conversion services for them to convert all documents aready posted as explained in note 434349.

Removing the decimal places of currency field

Hi Gurus,
I have a currency type field ( to be more specific a field like BSEG-WRBTR) .
How do i eliminate the decimal places for this field.
ie if the value is 345678.91, i need to make it 345678.
Is there a standard keyword or something for this?
Points will be given to all the helpful answers.
Thanks,
Nobin.

You can use the FLOOR function to get the largest integer value without decimal.
Like:
DATA: W_RESULT TYPE I.
W_RESULT = FLOOR( P_AMT ).

Changing Decimal places in table TCURX

Hi There
We have a business requirement to change the decimal places in table TCURX from 3 Decimals to 5 Decimal places. No previous postings have been made in foreign currencies.
If no transaction data has been posted in foreign currencies yet, will this have an impact?
What will the impact be?
Regards

Hi,
Refer to this SAP text:
In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this
amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD,
be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime
aspect be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can
thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of
2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists
Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.

Change decimal places in a KF

Hi,
I have a KF Amount with Data Type = CURR.
This KF has a data element associated ( automatically associated when is created) with Lenght 17 and Decimal places 2.
The KF is used in a ODS as Data Field.
Now the user want to update the field, with 5 decimal places.
I tried, but I couldn't change the Data Element. I read a thread that the Data Type has to be change to FLOAT instead of CURR, but when I see the Data Element it changed to Lenght = 16 and Decimal places = 16, and I cant set the decimal places.
So, Could someone help me?
Thanks, Federico

Hi Federico,
The table 'TCURX' determines how many decimal places the Key figure display the values. Mostly they are of 2 decimal places but in the query you can changing in the properties of the key figures to display 5 places. But you would typically not see all correct values. It will just do a rounding with 5 decimal places.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Hima

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.

Changing decimal places for currencies

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete begginer to SAP BI and I need to change a value in SPRO > General Settings > Currencies > Set Decimal Places for Currencies, but the option that I want doesn't exist.
I need to add a new entry with the value: currency - EUR6 and decimals 6, but there is no 6 available. Can anyone tell me where can I add this or what is the table where this information is???
Thanks in advance!
Rogério Brá

ok I think it works - just try and play
This is what I did (sort of same scenario - if you get my drift)
Currency Key MGF - translation ratio 1000:1
Exchange rate is : 11:02750 to the Euro
Invoice entered for 1,000,000.00
Currency calculated as 90.68 eur
(ie 1,000,000/(11.02750 * 1000))
You can play aroudn with direct/indirect to ge the factors right
But it works (I thought it did - I am qualified FICO honest!!)
This wont get you around displaying 6 decimals - BUT it will help with currency conversion

Decimal place in Quantity field

Hello experts,
Got a query regarding decimal places in the quantity field of a sales order.
The material UOM is maintained as EA. I have checked the transaction CUNI, where the decimal place is maintained as ZERO. Still , Sales order / Delivery documents which i am creating is allowing decimal places for in the quantity.
For eg: material quantity of 50 EA in sales order, during the delivery batch splitting is getting splitted as 25.095 EA and 24.050 EA. Can you pleae advise the reason for this and how to go about this...
Thanks,
Safeer Rahman

Thanks for your reply....
But , as i have already told the decimal place field is maintained as 0(zero) in CUNI for the UOM EA.... Still its allowing me to enter decimal values... for eg:. its allowing me to enter 50.038 EA. I don't know why its not giving an error message prompting me not to enter decimal values...
Any idea?
Thanks,
Safeer Rahman

Changing Decimal Places in CUNI

hello,
my company's requirement as of the moment is to increase the decimal places being displayed during service request for Activity Unit (AU). current setup is 3 decimal places. we need it to at least 10 to ensure almost exact computation.
i tried changing the decimal places in TC CUNI, but it wouldn't let me proceed. Per error message the ISO code for AU is similar with PC, which is PCE. Upon checking in DEV, PC has no ISO code, but it has in PRD (PCE).
1. how do i go about the ISO code error?
2. what is the impact of changing the decimal places now that the system is live for 8 months now? will it affect existing POs?
3. if it is no longer advisable to change the setup, how will we dispose the difference between the billed amount of contractor against the amount generated during GR/IR and MIR7?
thanks in advance, gurus.

thank you for your inputs, Jeevan. we've tried up to 100,000 since any more will make the PO exceed the original contract amount.
the contract involved will be delivered in a span of many months, and billing and payments will depend on percentage of completion.
i hope someone can enlighten me as to how other companies do it, best practice or not. i'm pretty sure those in construction or property development will find this case familiar. or maybe point me to an article or anything.
thank you for taking the time.

I often use the measuring tool to measure old scanned drawings, it is very useful but it supplies two decimal places for mm dimensions, this is really too much. I am not able to find any place where this setting can be changed.
