• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX370 - Incompatible change of decimal places of field &1 in class &2 ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX370 indicates that there is an incompatible change in the decimal places of a field in a specific class. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the expected number of decimal places for a field in a data structure or table and the actual number of decimal places defined in the corresponding data element or domain.
  Cause:
  
  Data Element Changes: The error often arises when a data element or domain has been modified to change the number of decimal places, but the associated structures or tables have not been updated accordingly.
  Inconsistent Data Definitions: If different parts of the system (like custom programs, reports, or configurations) expect different decimal places for the same field, this can lead to conflicts.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) without ensuring consistency in data definitions, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Element/Domain: Review the data element or domain associated with the field mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the decimal places are set correctly and consistently across all relevant structures.
  Update Structures: If the decimal places of the data element have changed, update all structures, tables, and programs that use this field to ensure they are aligned with the new definition.
  Rebuild Indexes: If the error is related to an index, you may need to rebuild the index to reflect the changes made to the underlying data structure.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all changes related to the data element or domain are consistently transported across all systems (development, quality assurance, production).
  Check Custom Code: If there are custom programs or reports that reference the field, review and update them to ensure they are compatible with the new decimal definition.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Data Dictionary: Use transaction SE11 to view and modify data elements and domains. This can help you understand the current configuration and make necessary adjustments.
  Debugging: If the error occurs during a specific transaction or program execution, consider using the debugger (transaction SE80 or SE37) to trace the execution and identify where the incompatible change is being triggered.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FKKBIX370 error and ensure that the decimal places for the specified field are consistent throughout your SAP system.
