  The SAP error message MC374 typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) or Logistics Information System (LIS) when there is a mismatch in the data types, lengths, or decimal places of fields in a view or report. This can happen during the creation or modification of InfoStructures, queries, or reports where the underlying data definitions do not align properly.
  Cause:
  
  Field Definition Mismatch: The field definitions in the InfoStructure or view do not match the definitions in the underlying database tables. This can include differences in data types (e.g., CHAR vs. NUMC), lengths, or decimal places.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., changes in the underlying tables or fields), this can lead to inconsistencies.
  Custom Development: If there are custom fields or modifications in the system, they may not be properly aligned with the standard definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the field definitions in the InfoStructure or view and compare them with the underlying database tables. Ensure that the data types, lengths, and decimal places match.
  Adjust InfoStructure: If you find discrepancies, you may need to adjust the InfoStructure or view to align with the underlying data definitions. This can involve changing the field type, length, or decimal places in the InfoStructure.

  Transport Changes: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing components.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoStructure or view you are working with for any known issues or additional guidance.
