• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /FLDQ/AD_TECH_ERRORS108 - Data returned from cleanse was larger than the fields supplied on output. ?

  The SAP error message /FLDQ/AD_TECH_ERRORS108 indicates that the data returned from a cleansing operation is larger than the fields that were supplied for output. This typically occurs in the context of data cleansing or data quality processes, where the system attempts to return processed data that exceeds the predefined size of the output fields.
  Cause:
  
  Field Size Limitations: The output fields defined in the data structure may have size limitations that are smaller than the data being returned from the cleansing process.
  Data Cleansing Logic: The logic used in the cleansing process may be generating data that is inherently larger than expected, such as concatenated strings or formatted data that exceeds the field size.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the data cleansing settings or mappings that lead to unexpected data sizes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Increase Field Sizes: Review the definitions of the output fields in the relevant data structures and increase their sizes to accommodate the expected data. This may involve modifying the data dictionary or the relevant structures in the SAP system.
  Review Cleansing Logic: Analyze the data cleansing logic to ensure that it is not generating excessively large outputs. If necessary, adjust the logic to limit the size of the returned data.
  Data Mapping: Check the mappings and configurations related to the data cleansing process to ensure that they are correctly set up to handle the expected data sizes.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the data cleansing process works as intended without exceeding field sizes.
  
  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 Cleansing Tools: If you are using specific data cleansing tools or add-ons, refer to their documentation for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  Field Lengths in Data Dictionary: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to review and modify the field lengths of the relevant structures.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the data cleansing process to identify where the data size is being exceeded.
  
  By addressing the field size limitations and reviewing the cleansing logic, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the data returned fits within the specified output fields.
