  The SAP error message 5F623 typically indicates a problem during the conversion of data types or formats in the SAP system. The error message format is as follows:

  Where:
  
  &1 represents the source data type or format.

  Causes
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The source data type does not match the expected format of the target data type. For example, trying to convert a string that contains non-numeric characters into a numeric type.
  Invalid Data: The data being converted may contain invalid or unexpected values that cannot be processed correctly.
  Length Issues: The length of the source data may exceed the maximum length allowed for the target data type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that affect how data types are handled.
  
  Solutions
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Values: Review the data being processed to ensure that it conforms to the expected format for the target data type. Look for any invalid characters or unexpected values.
  
  
  Data Type Compatibility: Ensure that the source and target data types are compatible. If necessary, modify the data or the conversion logic to ensure compatibility.
  
  
  Adjust Lengths: If the error is related to length, check the lengths of the source and target fields. You may need to truncate or pad the data appropriately.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code or the relevant program, you can use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify the exact point of failure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or program you are working with. There may be known issues or additional guidance available.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to manage conversion errors gracefully, allowing for logging or alternative processing paths.
