  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_BCFG_SCPR_IMPL036 - For column &1 in table &2 no negative values are permitted. ?

    The SAP error message S_BCFG_SCPR_IMPL036 indicates that a specific column in a table does not allow negative values. This error typically arises when you attempt to enter or process data that violates this constraint.

    Cause:

    The error occurs when:

    • You are trying to input a negative value into a column that is defined to only accept non-negative values (e.g., a quantity, price, or other financial figures).
    • The data being processed (e.g., during a transaction, data upload, or report generation) contains negative values for fields that are not permitted to have them.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Identify the Column and Table: Check the error message for the specific column (&1) and table (&2) mentioned. This will help you understand where the issue is occurring.

    2. Review Input Data: Examine the data you are trying to input or process. Look for any negative values in the specified column.

    3. Correct the Data:

      • If you find negative values, you will need to correct them to ensure they are non-negative (i.e., zero or positive).
      • If the negative value is valid in your business context, you may need to review the business logic or requirements to determine if the column definition needs to be changed.
    4. Check Configuration: If you believe that negative values should be allowed, you may need to check the configuration settings for the table and column in question. This may involve:

      • Reviewing the data element or domain associated with the field.
      • Modifying the field properties in the data dictionary (if you have the necessary permissions and it aligns with business rules).
    5. Testing: After making the necessary corrections, re-attempt the operation that caused the error to ensure that it has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for more details on data types and constraints for specific tables and fields.
    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view and modify table definitions or SE37 (Function Builder) to check the function modules that might be involved in the process.
    • Debugging: If the error persists, consider using the debugger to trace the program logic and identify where the negative value is being introduced.

    If you continue to face issues, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further assistance.
