Deserialisation failed

Question

Hello ,
I have a problem with decimal as input parameter for a webservice,
The decimal has 4 digits behind the decimal point. But if you instead give more than 4 (e.g. 5) digits as input, then you will get the following exception:
(The test was carried out using Web services navigator)
My question is, if SAP is not able to round down such a decimal to the predefined format automatically?

hi Yy,
I experence a similar problem.
I found an OSS note 830340 that seems to describe exactly the situation. But it is issued for BASIS 640, whereas our basis is version 700.
the problem seems to be in the transformation generated automatically from web service interface (or the ST engine interpreting it).
I have manually modified the Simple Transformation the way that I could get through the SOAP message. The problem is that I am not sure if I can transport such generated simple transformation to Q / P, as originally it is assigned to $TMP package. Another problem is that by modifying the Simple Transformation I made it incompatible with some SOAP clients.
My transformation
<tt:deserialize>
<n0:ZEosGetshoppingcartstatus tt:extensible="deep-dynamic">
<n0:Shoppingcardid>
<tt:ref name="SHOPPINGCARDID">
<tt:value/>
</tt:ref>
</n0:Shoppingcardid>
</n0:ZEosGetshoppingcartstatus>
</tt:deserialize>
the original was
<tt:deserialize>
<n0:ZEosGetshoppingcartstatus tt:extensible="deep-dynamic">
<Shoppingcardid>
<tt:ref name="SHOPPINGCARDID">
<tt:value/>
</tt:ref>
</Shoppingcardid>
</n0:ZEosGetshoppingcartstatus>
</tt:deserialize>
I'm looking forward to any feedback, should you managed to get more info/ solution for this case.
Best regards,
KK
