• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM060 - Parameter &1: data type &2 (system) vs. data type &3 (file) ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM060 typically occurs during data migration or data transfer processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration tools or during the execution of a conversion program. This error indicates a mismatch between the data types defined in the SAP system and those in the file being processed.
  Cause:
  The error message CNV_PE_TPM060 is triggered when:
  
  The data type of a field in the SAP system (denoted as &2) does not match the data type of the corresponding field in the input file (denoted as &3).
  This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect mapping of fields between the source file and the target SAP structure.
  Data type definitions in the source file not aligning with the expected data types in the SAP system.
  Changes in the data structure or data types in the SAP system that are not reflected in the input file.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Mapping:
  
  Review the mapping of fields between the source file and the target SAP structure. Ensure that each field in the file corresponds correctly to the expected field in SAP.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Types:
  
  Compare the data types of the fields in the SAP system with those in the input file. Make sure that they match. For example, if a field in SAP is defined as a numeric type, ensure that the corresponding field in the file is also numeric.
  
  
  
  Adjust Input File:
  
  If the data types in the input file are incorrect, modify the file to ensure that the data types align with those expected by the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Use Data Conversion Tools:
  
  If necessary, use data conversion tools or scripts to transform the data types in the input file to match those in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or migration guides for specific details on the expected data types for the fields you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the data migration or transfer process to check if the error persists.
