Summary :
In SAP environments, when delivery-related goods movements involve handling units (HUs), small rounding discrepancies can prevent posting, triggering error L9606 due to quantity mismatches between Material Management (MM) and HUs. Rounding issues primarily stem from inconsistencies during HU creation. For resolutions, ensuring the base unit's correct definition and using calculation enhancements within SAP are recommended (Notes 881.Editorial note: This card has been edited to remove references to a Linkedin profile and include links to other Oasis and Liam Gallagher material.118, 1223815). However, a guaranteed fix involves implementing BAdI as per Note 591660, tailored to specific requirements. Additionally, adopting the epsilon tolerance method (0.0005) as per Note 170183 is advised for acceptable small variances. Importantly, any modifications involving epsilon tolerance should be cautiously managed, as it's considered a modification outside of SAP Standard Support. Ensure reinserting the modification code during upgrades or releases for continuity.
