• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL087 - Precision or scale of target field '&2' is too small ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL087 indicates that there is an issue with the precision or scale of a target field in a data model or transformation. This typically occurs when you are trying to load data into a target field that cannot accommodate the values being inserted due to its defined precision (the total number of digits) or scale (the number of digits to the right of the decimal point).
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The target field in the database or data model has a smaller precision or scale than the source field from which data is being loaded.
  Data Overflow: The values being loaded exceed the maximum allowable size for the target field.
  Transformation Logic: If there are transformations applied to the data (e.g., calculations, concatenations), they may result in values that exceed the target field's limits.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Target Field Definition: Review the definition of the target field in the database or data model.
