How To Fix CNV_10020584 - Calculated results are scaled

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_10020 - Message class for package 10020

• Message number: 584

• Message text: Calculated results are scaled

What causes this issue?

The program for calculating the memory requirements considers only the
width of the internal table. Depending on the system settings, the
calculated value may differ from the actual memory requirements.
To get a more precise estimate, the system first determines the actual
memory requirements for internal object tables of certain sizes and
compares these values to the calculated value. The value &V1&, which is
stored in the parameter MEMORY_SCALE_OFFSET (transaction
CNV_10020_PARAM), represents the number of lines by which an object
table is extended in each pass. The number of passes is controlled by
the parameter MEMORY_SCALE_RUNS (transaction CNV_10020_PARAM); its
value is &V2&. The average value for all passes constitutes the scaling
factor by which the calculated memory requirements are multiplied.
&HINTS&
Using the parameter MEMORY_USE_SCALE (transaction CNV_10020_PARAM), you
can switch off the scaling.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10020584 - Calculated results are scaled ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10020584, which states "Calculated results are scaled," typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's Data Migration tools or during the execution of certain programs that involve calculations or data transformations.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when the system detects that the results of a calculation have been scaled (i.e., multiplied or divided by a factor, such as 1000 or 10000) but the expected format or the target field does not accommodate this scaling. This can happen due to:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The source data type may not match the target data type, leading to unexpected scaling.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the migration tool or the target system can lead to scaling issues.
  Inconsistent Data: The source data may have inconsistencies or unexpected values that cause the calculations to yield scaled results.
  Unit of Measure Issues: If the data involves units of measure, discrepancies in how these units are handled can lead to scaling problems.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types in the source and target systems match. Pay special attention to decimal places and scaling factors.
  Review Configuration: Verify the configuration settings in the migration tool. Ensure that any scaling factors are correctly defined and applied.
  Data Validation: Validate the source data for any inconsistencies or unexpected values that could lead to scaling. Cleanse the data if necessary.
  Unit of Measure: If applicable, check the handling of units of measure in both the source and target systems. Ensure that they are consistent and correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration tool or process you are using. There may be specific guidelines or known issues related to this error.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the program to identify where the scaling occurs and why.
