  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO214 - Conversion to uppercase has been activated ?

    The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO214 indicates that there is an issue related to the conversion of text to uppercase in the context of Field Data Tool (FDT) or similar functionalities in SAP. This message typically arises when the system is configured to automatically convert certain text fields to uppercase, and there is an inconsistency or violation of this rule.

    Cause:

    1. Field Configuration: The field in question may be configured to accept only uppercase characters, but the input provided is in lowercase or mixed case.

    Solution:

    1. Check Field Settings: Review the configuration of the field in the FDT or the relevant data model to ensure that it is set up correctly for uppercase conversion.
    2. Input Data: Ensure that any data being entered into the field is in uppercase. This may involve educating users on the input requirements or implementing input validation to enforce this rule.
    3. Adjust Configuration: If the uppercase conversion is not necessary for your business process, consider adjusting the field settings to allow mixed case or lowercase input.
