• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN230 - Unexpected value &1 in the field Inspection Method ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN230, which indicates "Unexpected value &1 in the field Inspection Method," typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools. This error suggests that the system encountered an unexpected or invalid value in the "Inspection Method" field, which is likely part of the Quality Management (QM) module.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Value: The value in the Inspection Method field does not match any of the predefined values in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Typographical errors in the data being migrated.
  The value not being defined in the target system.
  The value being obsolete or not applicable in the current configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The target SAP system may not have the necessary configuration or master data set up to recognize the inspection method being used.
  
  
  Data Mapping Issues: During the data migration process, there may be issues with how the source data is mapped to the target fields.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Source Data: Review the data being migrated to ensure that the Inspection Method values are correct and conform to the expected format. Look for any typographical errors or inconsistencies.
  
  
  Validate Against Target System: Ensure that the Inspection Method values in the source data exist in the target SAP system. You can do this by:
  
  Checking the configuration in the target system (transaction code OQ01 for creating inspection methods).
  Running a report or query to list all valid inspection methods in the target system.
  
  
  
  Update Mapping: If the Inspection Method values in the source system do not match those in the target system, you may need to update the mapping in your migration tool to ensure that the correct values are being used.
  
  
  Create Missing Inspection Methods: If the required Inspection Method does not exist in the target system, you may need to create it before running the migration again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration process you are using, as there may be additional guidelines or considerations.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OQ01 (Create Inspection Method) and OQ02 (Change Inspection Method) to manage inspection methods in the system.
  Data Migration Cockpit: Review the configuration and mapping settings in the Data Migration Cockpit to ensure that all necessary fields are correctly mapped and validated.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
