• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCOM_PLANNING_CORE067 - Data type or length of InfoObject &1 doesn't match field &2. ?

  The SAP error message FCOM_PLANNING_CORE067 indicates that there is a mismatch between the data type or length of an InfoObject and the corresponding field in the planning application. This error typically arises during planning processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud when the data being processed does not conform to the expected structure.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the InfoObject (e.g., character, numeric, date) does not match the data type of the field in the underlying database or the planning model.
  Length Mismatch: The length of the InfoObject is different from the length of the corresponding field. For example, if the InfoObject is defined as a character field of length 10, but the field in the database is defined as length 5, this will trigger the error.
  Model Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the planning model or data source can lead to this error.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has been modified (e.g., changes in the database schema), it may lead to inconsistencies with the InfoObjects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Definition: Verify the data type and length of the InfoObject in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it matches the expected data type and length of the corresponding field in the planning application.
  Adjust Data Source: If the data source has changed, update the InfoObject or the planning model to ensure compatibility.
  Recreate or Adjust the Planning Model: If the planning model is incorrectly configured, consider recreating it or adjusting the settings to align with the InfoObject definitions.
  Data Type Conversion: If necessary, implement data type conversion logic in the data flow to ensure that the data being loaded matches the expected format.
  Testing: After making changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
