• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/CONT_RESTRUCT019 - Type &1 of target par &2 does not match type &3 of source par &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/CONT_RESTRUCT019 indicates a type mismatch between the source and target parameters during a restructuring operation in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of data migration or transformation processes, such as when using the SAP Business One Integration or during data uploads.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The data type of a parameter in the source does not match the expected data type of the corresponding parameter in the target.
  For example, if the source parameter is defined as a string (CHAR) and the target parameter is defined as an integer (INT), this mismatch will cause the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types of both the source and target parameters. Ensure that they are compatible. You may need to adjust the data type in the source or target to match.
  
  
  Data Transformation: If the data types are inherently different (e.g., string vs. integer), consider transforming the data in the source to match the target's expected type. This may involve converting data formats or changing the way data is represented.
  
  
  Mapping Configuration: If you are using a mapping tool or configuration, ensure that the mappings between source and target parameters are correctly defined. Adjust the mappings as necessary to ensure type compatibility.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected data types, consult the relevant SAP documentation or data model definitions for guidance on the correct types.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this specific error message.
  Integration Tools: If you are using specific integration tools (like SAP Data Services or SAP Business One Integration), refer to their documentation for best practices on data type handling.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting in SAP community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the type mismatch and implement a solution to resolve the error.
