  Ensuring numeric fields do not contain non-numeric characters.
  Trimming excess characters if the input exceeds the defined length.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data processing logic to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users.
  Data Cleansing: If the data is coming from an external source, consider implementing data cleansing processes to ensure that the data conforms to the expected formats before it is processed by SAP.
