• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE_CHECK131 - Type difference of sender- (&1) and receiver parameter (&2) ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE_CHECK131 indicates a type mismatch between the sender and receiver parameters in a conversion or data transfer process. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion activities, particularly when using SAP's Data Migration tools or during the execution of programs that involve parameter passing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when there is a discrepancy in the data types of the parameters being passed. For example:
  
  The sender parameter might be defined as a certain data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, etc.), while the receiver parameter is defined as a different type.
  This can happen if the data structure or field definitions in the source and target systems do not match, or if there are inconsistencies in the data types defined in the ABAP programs or function modules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Review the definitions of the sender and receiver parameters in the relevant function module, program, or data structure. Ensure that they are compatible and of the same type.
  
  
  Adjust Data Types: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the data types in your ABAP code or data structures. This could involve changing the type of one of the parameters to match the other.
  
  
  Data Mapping: If you are performing data migration, ensure that the mapping between the source and target fields is correctly defined. Use appropriate conversion routines if necessary.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the program to trace where the type mismatch occurs. This can help identify the specific parameters involved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or program you are using. There may be known issues or additional guidance available.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the data transfer or conversion process to ensure that the error is resolved and that data integrity is maintained.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using transaction codes like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench), or other data migration tools.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to the specific tools or programs you are using.
  Data Types in ABAP: Familiarize yourself with the common data types in ABAP and their characteristics to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the type difference error CNV_PE_CHECK131 effectively.
