  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN438 - BP &1 is from type org, but person data are filled at sheet/table &2 ?

    The SAP error message CNV_DMC_SIN438 indicates a data inconsistency issue during a data migration process, specifically related to Business Partner (BP) data. The error message states that the Business Partner identified by &1 is of type "organization," but there are person-related data fields filled in the specified sheet or table &2. This inconsistency arises because organization-type Business Partners should not have person-related data filled in.

    Cause:

    1. Data Type Mismatch: The Business Partner is classified as an organization, but the data provided includes fields that are only applicable to person-type Business Partners (e.g., first name, last name, etc.).
    2. Incorrect Data Entry: During the data preparation phase, person-related data may have been mistakenly entered for an organization-type Business Partner.
    3. Migration Template Issues: If you are using a migration template, it may not have been correctly configured to differentiate between organization and person data.

    Solution:

    1. Review the Data: Check the data in the specified sheet/table &2 for the Business Partner &1. Ensure that no person-related fields are filled for organization-type Business Partners.
    2. Correct the Data: Remove or clear any person-related data fields for the organization-type Business Partner. Only include fields relevant to organizations.
    3. Use the Correct Template: If you are using a migration template, ensure that you are using the correct template for organization-type Business Partners. Templates should be designed to capture the appropriate data for each type.
    4. Validation: Before running the migration again, validate the data to ensure that all entries conform to the expected formats and types.

    Related Information:

    • Business Partner Types: In SAP, Business Partners can be of different types, such as "person" or "organization." Each type has specific fields that are relevant to it.
