Definition

Use

The amount can only be interpreted together with a currency. Every Every currency has a set number of valid decimal places. Any decimal places beyond this number must be filled with zeros for BAPIAMOUNT.

The decimal places for a currency are stored in the TCURX table (decimal places for currency), in the CURRDEC field.

If no currency is specified, the system assumes that the amount was entered in a currency with two decimal places.

The amount is converted to an internal SAP format with just two valid decimal places. You need to note that you can use no more than 21 spaces for your amount. These 21 spaces result from the number of valid decimal places in your currency, combined with the number of spaces before the decimal point.
