Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

Hi,
I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
Thanks.
Regards
Mansi

Hi Mansi,
Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

Need only two decimal places, but BigDecimal isn't working

Hello again. This time I've got a problem with getting only two decimal places. I tried using BigDecimal but when I compile it, I get an error "cannot find symbol class BigDecimal" and a "cannot find symbol variable BigDecimal".
Grrr... I just want my value to have only 2 decimal places before it ends up in my text field.
Any help will be appreciated.

@ georgemc
Isn't it better to import whole packages instead so
you can have everything available when you call them?
I mean, it's kinda hard to import individual classes
everytime you need to call them.No. You can get conflicts when importing complete packages. If you importjava.awt.*;
java.util.*;and then declareList list;the compiler does not know which List you meant, java.util.List or java.awt.List.

LOL. When I was a kid still playing my Playstation I
wanted to have a career in computers when I got to
college. Now I'm 14 and a 3rd year high school
student and I just got a reality check -- computers
just isn't for me. And alot of those professionals
say Java is the "easiest" programming language. O_O
Meh. I'll just follow my other dream of becoming a
chef. Just seems like my parents won't like it...
Bleh... Two more years... Two more years...Sure, but if you like programming, work (hard) for it. Most people have to work hard in order to become good at something, no one is born as a programmer. This goes for becoming a chef as well.

Printing exactly 2 decimal places

I'm trying to print my double type variables to exactly 2 places. but numbers such as 3.00 and 124.00 keep printing as 3.0 and 124.0. Is there an easy way to force the printing to two decimal places on a primitive double type value without having to cast it to a Double object and playing around with NumberFormat and all that entails?
thanks much,
jh

darelln has exactly the right answer, except that you must do the thing you don't want to do. If it were me, I'd go with his example. It's less work and much cleaner.
import java.text.*;
public class DoubleTest {
static double[] numbers = {3000, 124.12, 123.122, 3.0, 124.0, 10.2, 12.14, 1234.55};
static final NumberFormat f = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        System.out.println("Goofy way!\n");
        for (int i=0 ; i<numbers.length ; i++) {
            printD(numbers);
System.out.println("\nRight way!\n");
for (int i=0 ; i<numbers.length ; i++) {
System.out.println(f.format(numbers[i]));
static void printD(double dbl) {
if (dbl % 10 == 0) {
System.out.println(dbl + "0");
} else {
String sdbl = "" + dbl;
String predot = sdbl.substring(0, sdbl.indexOf("."));
String atdot = sdbl.substring(sdbl.indexOf("."), sdbl.length());
String postdot = sdbl.substring(sdbl.indexOf(".") + 1, sdbl.length());
if (postdot.length() == 2) {
System.out.println(sdbl);
} else if (postdot.length() < 2) {
System.out.println(predot + "." + postdot.substring(0,1) + "0");
} else {
System.out.println(predot + "." + postdot.substring(0,2));
java DoubleTest
Goofy way!
3000.00
124.12
123.12
3.00
124.00
10.20
12.14
1234.55
Right way!
3000.00
124.12
123.12
3.00
124.00
10.20
12.14
1234.55
and the results are identical!

Hi,
I have variable for which is declared to take upto 3 decimal places, my requirement is ...
when this variable is getting populated for a particular screen i have to display decimal upto only 2 places, this data element is also used in other screens ao i cannot modify its domain directly...
is there anyway i can do it dyanmically when values are getting populated on screen
Regards,
Prateek.

Hi,
If you want to use with WRITE statement:
Effect of different DECIMALS specifications:
DATA: X TYPE P DECIMALS 3 VALUE '1.267',
Y TYPE F VALUE '125.456E2'.
WRITE: /X DECIMALS 0, "output: 1
/X DECIMALS 2, "output: 1.27
/X DECIMALS 5, "output: 1.26700
/Y DECIMALS 1, "output: 1.3E+04
/Y DECIMALS 5, "output: 1.25456E+04
/Y DECIMALS 20. "output: 1.25456000000000E+04
If you want to use in ALV display - Fieldcatalog:
*-Decimal places for Del Qty and Bag Wt
    IF p_fieldname = 'DELQTY' OR p_fieldname = 'BAGWT'.
         ls_fieldcat-decimals    = '000002'.
    ENDIF.
APPEND ls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.

Print Doubles to two decimal places?

When I do calculations on my double numbers and then print them on screen I get a string of digits after the decimal point. Can anyone give me the code as to how I use the DecimalFormat class to make these digits print to 2 decimal places. I am sure it is very simple line or two of code but I am unsure how.
Thanks

double number = 123456.789;
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
System.out.println(df.format(number));

Decimal places on forms

The decimal places in General Settings>Display is set to 6 for Amounts and Prices. They would like only 2 decimal places to acutally print on the SO and AR Invoice. How can we do this?

Hi Kathy,
You can add another formular field with round(Field_XXX,2) to display only two decimal places for any fields. Then hide the long decimal field.
Thanks,
Gordon

Rounding a quantity field to one decimal place. PLEASE URGENT

I have a quantity field with three decimal places. I have to print this field with only one decimal place. This is in a smartform.
suppose: qty = 45.678
I want it to be printed as 45.7
Thanks in advance.

Hi Riki,
I think you can use Function Module ROUND to round off the value...
REPORT ZTEST_SHAIL4 .
data: out type p decimals 1,
inp type f.
inp = '45.678'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ROUND'
EXPORTING
DECIMALS =
input = inp
SIGN = ' '
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = out
EXCEPTIONS
INPUT_INVALID = 1
OVERFLOW = 2
TYPE_INVALID = 3
OTHERS = 4
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Now use the variable 'out' to display the rounded off value...
Regards,
SP.

Quantity field to one decimal place. PLEASE URGENT

Create one more variable in Global definitions with only 1 decimal place.
Assign value of qty to this new variable.
SAP automatically takes care of the rounding.
And then print this new variable rather than qty.
You can write all these in a code block.

Decimal Places in DSO

Hi All,
I'm trying to load a field from source system whose decimal length is 5. The InfoObject I created for this field is of data type Decimal and given decimal places upto 5 in additional properties of the InfoObject. I alos checked "Key Figure with Maximum Precicion". I loaded data into the InfoObject and its taking only 3 decimal places.
Any solutions?

Hello,
I think its nothing to do with user parameters, it simply tells how the decimal format for that user is.
I think you should be OK with the use of FLTP KF. Though it will show in exponential form in the display data, in the report it should be fine for the display with the needed decimal places (non exponential display in the report).

Decimal places in quantity depending on currency

hi
i m doing an alv list display in which i need to display a quantity field with 3 decimal places for some currencies, but for one particular currency such as 'AED'
that field should display only 2 decimal places in the output.
regards
Zarina

Hi Zarina,
Populate decimals_out with 2 for this field while building the fieldcatalog.
g_t_fieldcat-decimals_out = 2.
Note: don't declare the field as currency which will overwrite above setting.
i.e., don't use g_t_fieldcat-cfieldname in this case.
==============================================
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_s = 'USD Equi'.
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'USD Equi'.
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'USD Equivalent'.
g_t_fieldcat-cfieldname = ' '.
<b>g_t_fieldcat-decimals_out = 2.</b>
g_t_fieldcat-just = 'R'.
modify g_t_fieldcat index zindx.
==============================================
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Vicky
