• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO201 - Unit/curr. field &1 for field &2 has wrong data type/length: &3, &4 ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO201 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO). This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the data type or length of a field in the ADSO definition compared to what is expected or defined in the source data.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field in the source data may have a different data type than what is defined in the ADSO. For example, if the ADSO expects a character field but the source data provides a numeric field, this error can occur.
  Length Mismatch: The length of the field in the source data may exceed the length defined in the ADSO. For instance, if the ADSO defines a field as having a maximum length of 10 characters, but the source data provides a string of 15 characters, this will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Mapping: During the data modeling or transformation process, the mapping of fields may not have been set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the field definitions in both the ADSO and the source data. Ensure that the data types and lengths match. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the ADSO definition in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Checking the source data structure (e.g., InfoSource, DSO, or other data sources).
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Types/Lengths: If you find discrepancies, you may need to:
  
  Change the data type or length in the ADSO to match the source data.
  Alternatively, modify the source data to conform to the ADSO's expectations.
  
  
  
  Update Transformations: If you are using transformations to load data into the ADSO, ensure that the mappings are correctly defined. You may need to adjust the transformation rules to ensure that the data types and lengths are compatible.
  
  
  Test Data Load: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test data load to verify that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Check for Other Errors: If the issue persists, check for other related error messages or logs that might provide additional context about the problem.
