Summary :
In the SAP system, creating order in transaction VA01 can lead to a field overflow error if the conversion between entered and stockkeeping units demand more than five decimal places. This is specifically noted with field: O_UMREZ where systems throw message BM398. This typically happens when granularity of the conversion requires higher precision, e.g., grams to tons conversion needing six decimal places. Currently, the item’s conversion factor is limited to five decimal places. No solution exists yet for this issue and users should refer to note 23771 for additional guidance on unit conversions.
