• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIJ_EL749 - Error while copying from &1 to &2: Only digits are allowed in &3 ?

  The SAP error message OIJ_EL749 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) module, particularly when dealing with data entry or data transfer processes. This error indicates that there is an issue with the data being copied from one field to another, specifically that the target field is expected to contain only numeric values (digits), but the source field contains non-numeric characters.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Numeric Characters: The source field (&1) contains characters that are not digits (0-9), which cannot be copied to the target field (&2) that only accepts numeric values.
  Data Format Issues: The data format of the source field may not match the expected format of the target field.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the fields are mapped in the data transfer or copying process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Source Data: Review the data in the source field (&1) to ensure that it contains only numeric characters. Remove any non-numeric characters (such as letters, special characters, or spaces).
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks before the copying process to ensure that only valid numeric data is being transferred.
  Correct Mapping: Verify the mapping of fields in the data transfer process to ensure that the correct fields are being used and that they are compatible in terms of data type.
  Error Handling: If applicable, implement error handling in your data processing logic to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users.
