CNV_DMC_SIN185 - Details

• The SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN185 indicates that the entered sales order number is too long for the external numbering system. This typically occurs during data migration or when integrating systems where the sales order number exceeds the defined length in the target system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Length Exceedance: The sales order number you are trying to enter exceeds the maximum length defined in the SAP system for sales order numbers. Each SAP system has a specific configuration for the length of various identifiers, including sales orders.
