Date formatting, too many decimal places for milliseconds.

Is there any cirmumstance where the SimpleDateFormat string of:
"yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss.SS "
could result in some dates being output correctly with two digits for milliseconds, and others being output with three digits!

Error stating "too many decimal places (max allowed 0) while getting input

Hi experts
   In one of my reports the input is accepted for the user for a field . The field was initially declared as AZINSSATZ ( Data Type DEC    Length     10         Decimal Places   7 ) . It did not accept the values like 12.5 .Inorder to give 12 5 we need to give as 12.0000005 .Later i changed it ot menge_d , dmbtr and various other data types but shows the above error.
please advise on how to correct it

Too many decimal places to fit in JTextField

I'm putting a Double value into a JTextField (by adding it to ""), and occasionally the value has too many places to fit in the text field.
Suggestions on limiting the number of decimal places (least significant digits)?
Thanks.

Have a look on this one

Decimal places for JPY currency in change documents

Hi Gurus,
For opportunities in SAP GUI the change documents for JPY show incorrect numbers.
The number is divided by 100 (two decimal places added).
Checked the CDPOS table and found the values already divided (two decimal places added).
SPRO->General Settings->Currencies->Set decimal places for currencies is set for 0 decimals for JPY.
Is there any way I can get correct values in the change documents?
Please advice. Any hint is useful.
Thx,
Martin Kuma

Hi Naren,
Thank you for the tip, however the TCURX table is changed via customizing and should be changed only during the system initialization.
What I would like to do, is to assure that the system displays the values in change documents correctly. It should apply the currency conversion for the data displayed the same way it does for all the tables.
Do you have any idea, how should I do this?
Regards,
Martin Kuma

More DECIMAL places for MM price-Not Global

I have read the <u>many</u> postings on decimals. However, I have not seen the exact scenario I'm inquiring about.
I want to increase the decimal places from 2 to 4 for the cost of materials we purchase (i.e. supplier price), but I do NOT want to set this as a global aspect for the company when dealing with numbers/currency.
It's not just a simple matter of setting a different unit of measure, because let's say we order a reel of capacitors - the reel may come in qty of 1,000 or 2,500 (only one example). So, we really need to set price by (ea). The problem is that many of our parts price at .0014 (example) and in SAP that shows a cost or price [depending on where you're looking] of zero. Plus, the Purchasing agent sends a PO with incorrect price information.
<b>It would be very helpful if anyone could tell me how to increase the number of decimal places for specific fields as opposed to globally.</b>
Thanks you!!

The right tool to do that is the pice unit. This is in the system for ecatly that purpose, to provide more precision in prices. It has nothing to do with unitz of measure that is used for logistical purposes.
If you have a price 0f 0.0014 each you can set a price unit of 1000 and will have a price of 1.40 for 1000. You still can have only 500 or even 1 on stock. the calculation done if you receive your 2500 will be 2500 * 1,40 / 1000 which is of course the same as 2500 * 0,0014
best regards, Udo

Formatting currencies and decimal places

I'm currently using NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() to format numbers as currency. However, one problem I'm having is that I'd like values with no cents to be formatted with no decimal places, and any values with cents to be formatted with the usual 2 decimal places. For example:
17 would be formatted as $17
17.45 would be formatted as $17.45
17.4 would be formatted as $17.40
The last one is the tricky part--I've tried formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(0), and this works great for the first two cases. But for the last case, the number gets formatted as $17.4.
Basically my problem is I want a number to be formatted with zero or two decimal places and nothing in between. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you are likely to find that you are getting .00 due to errors from previous calculations. You are right. Adjusted it to Locale aware

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 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.

Too many recipients found for message type in the ALE model

Hello Friends,
Please help me in solving this error. I have a Outbound sales order confirmation ORDRSP .
In the distribution model i have defined the sender receiver and message type clearly...
But in va01 after creating sales order extras ->Output->Hearder --->Edit
Output type-- BA00
medium --ALE
Dispatch time : Send Immediately
I am getting a error -
Too many recipients found for message type ORDRSP in the ALE model
Message no. B1130
Diagnosis
In the ALE distribution customer model several recipient systems for IDOCs with message type ORDRSP and filter object type 'KUNNR' with value '100' have been modeled from this system, but only one recipient system is allowed.
Procedure
Please change the ALE distribution customer model so that it allows only one recipient system for the message from this system.
Please help me in solving this error.
Regards,
jeevan

Hi Jeevan,
In BD64, the said problem occurs, since the message type ORDRSP will be configured to different Logical System.
Since you are creating sales orders & Output type, system doesnt knows, to which Logical system, it has to be sent since the Message type exists more than once.
select Your respective Logical System where the Outbound Sales Order Confirmation ORDRSP has been created.
Under the node ORDRSP, add the filter group for Customer.
Double click the Filter group and add the respective Customer No.s to whom the Order confirmation needs to be sent.
Then create Sales Order Confirmation & Output type. Data will be passed(IDoc) to the respective Customer(where the customer no.) exist in the filter.
Hope it solves your Issues.
Regards,
Anbalagan.

Decimal Places for Currencies

Impact on the processes of change at MM decimals for Currencies.
We want to use foreign currency to 6 decimals anand two decimal places for the currency of society

Dear José Luis Flores ,
Please always make sure your business process not reach the limitation of overflow during
the conversion as the Price it is always with 11 characters with 2 Decimal place (9,2) in standard.
All together 13 characters.
If this limitation was reached, you will received the dump message. This is normal and you had to
make sure it suits your business requirement in the beginning to avoid any changes later . You
had to plan it before do this type of customizing in very beginning.
Thanks

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 places for unit of measure

Dear All ,
If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
whether it will work ?
and where it will impact

Hi
No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.
