• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRSFEC_KEY_MAPPING020 - Lenght of rem. company ID &1 too long for direct mapping to BUKRS (CHAR4) ?

  The SAP error message HRSFEC_KEY_MAPPING020 indicates that there is an issue with the length of the remote company ID (rem. company ID) being too long for direct mapping to the company code (BUKRS), which is defined as a CHAR4 data type in SAP. This means that the remote company ID exceeds the maximum length of 4 characters allowed for the BUKRS field.
  Cause:
  
  Data Length Mismatch: The remote company ID being used is longer than 4 characters. This can happen if the data source or system that is providing the company ID has a different format or length.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the mapping settings between the remote system and the SAP system, leading to incorrect data being sent or received.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry of the company ID may have resulted in an incorrect or longer value being inputted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Remote Company ID: Verify the length of the remote company ID being used. Ensure that it conforms to the CHAR4 requirement. If it is longer, you will need to truncate or modify it to fit within the 4-character limit.
  Adjust Mapping Configuration: Review the mapping configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the correct company ID is being mapped. If necessary, adjust the mapping to accommodate the correct length.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent longer company IDs from being entered in the future.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on how to handle company ID mappings and any related configurations.
