SRM - not possible to convert the price because it was longer than 11 pos.

[former_member681362]

Hi everyone,

the length of the GROSS_PRICE price field on the position is 13 digits of which 2 decimal digits, the output length is 16 digits considering the points and the comma. It is not possible to enter 1.050.000.000,00 euro because it is 16. The error message is: 'The price could not be converted because it was longer than 11 pos. ' Can you tell me what is the correct solution to solve the problem?

Thanks everyone

Best regards

Giovanni

Hello Giovanni,

GROSS_PRICE is the price of your item, based on the Unit Price.

Most of the time, it is 1, so value of your item is ( Quantity x Gross Price ) / Unit Price = Value.

Currency you are talking about is Euro: have you ever seen a PO item value with an amount greater than 1 billion Euro???

If this is the case (!!!), you will have to split your amount on several PO items: you have no other solution as this is a technical limit.

Nevertheless, your error message is about conversion: does your SC header currency (internal currency, that is to say the one of user) is different than the one at item level?

Regards.

Laurent.
