How To Fix G3374 - Subitem field length (&1) is smaller than the sender field length (&2)

G3374 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G3 - Messages for SAP Consolidation: Integration

• Message number: 374

• Message text: Subitem field length (&1) is smaller than the sender field length (&2)

What causes this issue?

The current settings specify a length of &V1& for the subitems of
subitem category &V3&. However, this is less than the length of the
sender field (&V2&) dedicated for the subitems in this category. The
subitem values could be cut off.

System Response

Cannot save the current settings.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that (a) the lengths of the values of the sender field do not
exceed &V1&, or (b) any cut-off values still remain unique for the
subitems of category &V3&.
As an alternative approach, decide whether to make the field length of
the subitems at least as long as the length of the sender field (&V2&).
