How To Fix CNV_10020337 - Path determination for &2 has failed: Source value for &3 is initial

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_10020 - Message class for package 10020

• Message number: 337

• Message text: Path determination for &2 has failed: Source value for &3 is initial

What causes this issue?

Determination by path &V2& has been specified for conversion of table
field &V1&. <ZH>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 &V4&.

System Response

<ZH>Field &V1& of the current data record does not participate in the
conversion.</>

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 &V4& 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_10020337 - Path determination for &2 has failed: Source value for &3 is initial ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10020337 indicates that there is an issue with path determination in a conversion process, specifically related to a source value that is initial (i.e., empty or not set). This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's Conversion Tools.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to determine a path for a specific object (denoted by &2 in the error message) but finds that the source value (denoted by &3) is not populated. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Missing Data: The source data that is supposed to be mapped or converted is missing or not correctly populated.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the mapping or conversion settings that leads to the system not being able to find the necessary source value.
  Data Integrity Issues: The data being processed may have integrity issues, such as incorrect or incomplete records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Source Data: Verify that the source data for the object in question is correctly populated. Ensure that there are no missing values that should be present.
  
  
  Review Mapping Configuration: Check the mapping configuration in the conversion tool. Ensure that the mappings are correctly set up and that the source values are correctly defined.
  
  
  Data Validation: Perform data validation checks to ensure that the data being processed meets the required criteria. Look for any anomalies or inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the conversion process to identify where the path determination is failing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific conversion tool you are using. There may be specific guidelines or known issues that can help you troubleshoot the problem.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. Provide them with the error message and any relevant details about the conversion process you are executing.
