AD551
- Generic entry not possible for numeric field types ?The SAP error message AD551, which states "Generic entry not possible for numeric field types," typically occurs when there is an attempt to enter a non-numeric value into a field that is defined to accept only numeric data types. This can happen in various scenarios, such as data entry in transactions, report generation, or during data uploads.
Cause: Data Type Mismatch: The field in question is defined as a numeric type (e.g., integer, decimal) in the database or data structure, but the input provided is either non-numeric (e.g., letters, special characters) or formatted incorrectly (e.g., using commas instead of periods for decimal points). Incorrect Field Mapping: If you are using a data upload tool (like LSMW or BAPIs), the mapping of fields may be incorrect, leading to the wrong data type being sent to the numeric field. User Input Error: Users may inadvertently enter invalid data when filling out forms or transaction screens.
