• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_MC060 - Decimals of data type '&1' must be '&2' ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_MC060 typically occurs during data migration processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected number of decimal places for a specific data type and the actual number of decimal places present in the data being processed.
  Cause:
  The error message CNV_DMC_MC060 is triggered when:
  
  The data type being processed has a defined number of decimal places (e.g., a currency or quantity field).
  The incoming data does not conform to the expected decimal precision. For example, if the data type is defined to have 2 decimal places, but the incoming data has 3 or more decimal places, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Mapping: Review the data mapping configuration in the migration tool to ensure that the source data types are correctly mapped to the target data types in SAP.
  
  
  Validate Source Data: Inspect the source data for the specific field mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the values conform to the expected decimal precision. You may need to round or truncate the values to match the required number of decimal places.
  
  
  Adjust Data Types: If the source data legitimately requires more decimal places than the target data type allows, consider adjusting the target data type in SAP to accommodate the additional precision, if feasible.
  
  
  Data Transformation: If necessary, implement a data transformation step in your migration process to modify the incoming data to meet the required format before it is loaded into SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the migration process to verify that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional context or solutions for this specific error message.
  Data Migration Cockpit Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for the Data Migration Cockpit for best practices and guidelines on handling data types and decimal precision.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels where other users may have encountered and resolved similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the CNV_DMC_MC060 error and implement a suitable solution to ensure successful data migration.
