How To Fix CNV_10020333 - Direct determination by &2 has failed: &3 is initial

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_10020 - Message class for package 10020

• Message number: 333

• Message text: Direct determination by &2 has failed: &3 is initial

What causes this issue?

Direct determination by &V2& has been specified for conversion of table
field &V1&. <ZH>No delimitation takes place.</>
The related source field or object &V3& is not filled for the current
data record. Consequently, it is not possible to assign the field to be
converted to &V2&.

System Response

<ZH> Field &V1& of the current data record participates in the
conversion.</>
However the conversion routine is supplied with an empty value for &V2&.

How to fix this error?

Check if field &V1& really contains relevant data for the records for
which source field or object &V3& is empty. If this is the case, you
need to find a different path for determination of &V2& using another
source field or object and store it in table CNV_10020_DTFLD.
&HINTS&

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

If the determination path is the same for a multitude of table fields to
be converted, determination is carried out only once for this group of
fields. Consequently, the problem described above occurs with all fields
of a group, and all instances must be analyzed separately.
If package parameter PROTOCOL_ENHANCED is set, the system outputs the
value of the relevant fields (if they are filled) after this message has
been output. If <zh>all</> relevant fields are empty, no message is
output.
If tables are delimited by means of a cluster table, output of the
relevant fields for conversion is not possible.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10020333 - Direct determination by &2 has failed: &3 is initial ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10020333 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data migration tools. The message indicates that a direct determination process has failed because a required field (denoted as &3) is empty or uninitialized (i.e., "initial").
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the system attempting to determine a value for a specific field based on the input data or configuration, but it encounters an empty or null value where it expects valid data. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Data: The source data may not contain the necessary information for the field in question.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping configuration between the source and target systems may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the required value.
  Data Transformation Issues: If there are transformation rules applied during the migration, they may not be correctly defined, resulting in an inability to derive the necessary value.
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues in the configuration of the migration project or the data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Source Data: Verify that the source data contains all the necessary fields and that they are populated correctly. Look for any missing or null values in the relevant fields.
  
  
  Review Mapping Configuration: Ensure that the mapping between the source and target fields is correctly defined. Check if the field that is causing the error is mapped properly.
  
  
  Examine Transformation Rules: If there are any transformation rules applied, review them to ensure they are correctly set up to derive the necessary values.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution to see where the determination is failing. This may provide insights into why the field is initial.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration tool you are using. There may be specific guidelines or known issues related to the error message.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the error, including the context in which it occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
