Summary :
When interfacing with QUAN type fields in SAP, the number of decimal places is fixed within the ABVA/4 Data Dictionary, irrespective of the UNIT type designated as the reference field. This setting determines both inward and outward value handling, thus discrepancies in displayed decimals relative to the UNIT reference might occur during output operations. This is standard behavior as internally set decimals take precedence, with adjustments only for the removal of superfluous zeros, ensuring data integrity without altering values. No modifications are possible for this mechanism and offered solutions are oriented towards understanding and adapting to this predefined functionality.
