  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECRM_ISU303 - Value &1 (data element &2) is not a number ?

    The SAP error message ECRM_ISU303 indicates that a value expected to be a number is not in a numeric format. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) when the system is trying to process data that should be numeric but encounters a non-numeric value instead.

    Cause:

    1. Data Entry Error: The most common cause is that a user has entered a non-numeric value (like letters or special characters) in a field that is expected to contain a numeric value.
    2. Data Import Issues: If data is being imported from an external source (like a CSV file), the data might not be formatted correctly, leading to non-numeric values being imported into numeric fields.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the data model or the data types defined in the system.
    4. Custom Code: If there are custom programs or enhancements, they might be incorrectly handling data types.

    1. Check Input Values: Review the input values for the field indicated in the error message. Ensure that only numeric values are entered. Remove any non-numeric characters.
    2. Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the user interface to prevent non-numeric values from being entered in the first place.
    3. Data Cleansing: If the error arises from imported data, cleanse the data to ensure that all values in numeric fields are indeed numeric before importing.
    4. Debugging Custom Code: If custom code is involved, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles data types and performs necessary conversions.
    5. Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the data types are correctly defined and aligned with the expected input.
