  Data Cleansing: If you find postal codes that do not meet the required lengths, you may need to either correct them or remove them from the dataset before migration.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in your SAP system regarding postal codes. Ensure that they are set up to accept the formats you are trying to import.
  Use Data Transformation: If you are using a data migration tool, consider applying transformations to adjust the postal codes to the required lengths before the import process.
