Message Text

Field types for characteristic &1 and sender field &2 are different

Help Document

Diagnosis

You will see that problems can arise if sender fields are assigned to receiver fields and the fields are of different types. Invalid values could appear. Usually an ABAP command MOVE is carried out. This command has a special logic for the type conversion and may not always be suitable. See the ABAP documentation for the rules on type conversion.

System Response

Procedure

If, for example, you wish to convert fields from data type N or C to date fields, check first in a test run whether the results are correct. Alternatively, you can set the fields in the sender structure to the 'correct' type. Then during an import, the system checks if the fields have been filled correctly for their type.
