  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_INB_MIGR100 - Field &1 value '&2' is not a valid date ?

    The SAP error message FARR_INB_MIGR100 indicates that there is an issue with a date field in your data migration process. Specifically, the error states that the value provided for a certain field (denoted as &1) is not recognized as a valid date (denoted as &2). This can occur during data migration or when importing data into the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Date Format: The date value may not be in the expected format. SAP typically expects dates in a specific format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD).
    2. Invalid Date Values: The date provided may not correspond to a valid calendar date (e.g., February 30th).
    3. Leading/Trailing Spaces: The date string may contain leading or trailing spaces that make it invalid.
    4. Localization Issues: The date format may vary based on the localization settings of the SAP system. For example, some regions use DD/MM/YYYY while others use MM/DD/YYYY.
    5. Data Type Mismatch: The field may be defined as a date type in the database, but the incoming data is in a different format or type.

    Solution:

    1. Check Date Format: Ensure that the date values are in the correct format expected by SAP. Convert the dates to the required format if necessary.
    2. Validate Dates: Check that all date values are valid. For example, ensure that there are no impossible dates like February 30th.
    3. Trim Spaces: Remove any leading or trailing spaces from the date values.
    4. Adjust Localization Settings: If the system is set to a specific locale, ensure that the date format matches that locale.
    5. Data Mapping: If you are using a data migration tool, ensure that the mapping for date fields is correctly configured.
    6. Test with Sample Data: Before running a full migration, test with a small set of data to identify any issues with date formats.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for documentation on data migration and the expected formats for date fields.
    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the field definitions and expected formats.
    • Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the data flow to see where the invalid date is being generated or processed.
    • Community Forums: Check SAP Community forums or other user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.

    By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully complete your data migration process.
