Summary :
In the context of Sales and Distribution (SD) within SAP, there is a notable rounding error issue during quantity conversions. Specifically, when generating deliveries based on orders, decimal points can be inaccurately calculated. For instance, an ordered quantity of 12 liters, equating to one box, might result in a confirmed quantity of 12.002 liters. This discrepancy arises because the sales unit and base unit of measure differ, with calculations being internally maintained up to three decimal places. Consequently, even simple inventory postings can result in computational errors. To mitigate this, it's recommended to define the base unit of measure as the smallest unit, ensuring conversion ratios are appropriately managed.
