• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN421 - Rec. can not be processed with user decimal format &1. Change to &2 or &3 ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN421 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the user-defined decimal format and the expected decimal format for the data being processed.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the record cannot be processed because the decimal format used by the user (indicated by &1) does not match the required decimal format (&2 or &3). This can happen due to:

  Data Format: The data being imported or converted may have a different decimal format than what is expected by the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
