CGPL_MSP_INTERFACE004 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CGPL_MSP_INTERFACE - Project Planning - Interface to MS Project

• Message number: 004

• Message text: Data transfer is possible only with conditions due to the field type

What causes this issue?

The assigned fields are made up of differing field types. For this
reason it is not always possible to transfer data.
If you assigned a text field to a number field, for example, data
transfer to the number field is only possible if the system can
interpret the content of the text field as a number.

System Response

The system makes the assignment.
If the content of a certain field cannot be transferred, when the
system is communicating with Microsoft Project, the target field
remains unchanged or is filled with an initial value. The system does
not generate a message in this case.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you can assign a different Microsoft Project field a
suitable field type. If you do not change the field assignment, be
aware that the field contents could be converted to the other field
type.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
