SAP Note 460652 - Extending key figures in BW

Component : InfoObjects -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/460652 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues with key figures in BW, specifically with data types 'DEC', 'CURR', or 'QUAN' that have a fixed length and decimal places which may be insufficient, leading to errors like DB2’s SQLCODE -802—decimal overflow—and similarly in other databases such as MaxDB and MSSQL. Solutions include altering InfoObject characteristics to FLOAT for dynamic length and decimal precision (BW 3.0 SP5 onward) and using custom domains ensuring compatibility with the key figure’s designated data type without modifying posted data. For BW versions prior to 3.0, domain adjustments need to be reaffirmed post any transport or activation.
