  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPRX406 - SPROXY/DDIC: Structure &1 Field &2 Different decimals &3/&4 ?

    The SAP error message SPRX406 indicates that there is a mismatch in the decimal places between the fields in a structure when working with SAP Proxy (SPROXY) and Data Dictionary (DDIC). This typically occurs when you are trying to map or use structures that have different decimal definitions, which can lead to issues in data processing or integration.

    Cause:

    The error arises when:

    • You have a structure defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) that has fields with different decimal places.
    • The structure being used in the proxy service has fields that do not match the decimal definitions of the corresponding fields in the DDIC structure.
    • This can happen during the generation of proxy objects or when consuming web services where the data types do not align correctly.

    Solution:

    To resolve the SPRX406 error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check the Data Dictionary (DDIC) Definition:

      • Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check the structure definition for the fields in question.
      • Verify the decimal places defined for the fields in the structure.
    2. Check the Proxy Definition:

      • Go to transaction SPROXY and check the proxy definition that is causing the error.
      • Ensure that the fields in the proxy match the decimal definitions of the corresponding fields in the DDIC structure.
    3. Adjust Decimal Places:

      • If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the decimal places in either the DDIC structure or the proxy definition to ensure they match.
      • This may involve modifying the structure in the DDIC or regenerating the proxy to align with the updated structure.
    4. Regenerate Proxy Objects:

      • After making changes, regenerate the proxy objects to ensure that the changes are reflected in the proxy service.
      • You can do this by using the "Regenerate" option in transaction SPROXY.
    5. Test the Changes:

      • After making the necessary adjustments, test the integration or the service call again to ensure that the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SE11: Data Dictionary to view and modify structures.
