SPC02604
- Type violation in field '&' in segment number '&' or max length violation ?The SAP error message SPC02604 indicates a type violation or a maximum length violation in a specific field within a segment of an IDoc (Intermediate Document). This error typically occurs during the processing of IDocs, which are used for data interchange between SAP systems and external systems.
Cause:
Type Violation: This occurs when the data type of the value being passed to a field does not match the expected data type. For example, if a field expects a numeric value but receives a string or alphanumeric value, this error will be triggered.
Max Length Violation: This happens when the length of the data being sent to a field exceeds the maximum length defined for that field in the IDoc structure. For instance, if a field is defined to accept a maximum of 10 characters and the data being sent is 15 characters long, this error will occur.
Solution:
Check Data Types: Review the data being sent in the IDoc. Ensure that the values match the expected data types for each field. For example, if a field is defined as numeric, ensure that only numeric values are being sent.
Check Field Lengths: Verify the maximum length defined for each field in the IDoc structure. Ensure that the data being sent does not exceed these limits. If necessary, truncate or modify the data to fit within the defined limits.
IDoc Structure: Use transaction codes like WE30 (IDoc type) or WE31 (IDoc segment) to review the structure of the IDoc and understand the expected data types and lengths for each field.
Error Logs: Check the error logs in transaction WE02 or WE05 to get more details about the specific segment and field that is causing the error. This can help pinpoint the exact issue.
Mapping Issues: If you are using middleware or mapping tools (like SAP PI/PO), ensure that the mapping between the source and target fields is correctly configured.
Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the IDoc processing again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
