• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING620 - Decimal mismatch in schema(&1) and mapping(&2) for element &3 in doc. &4 ?

  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING620 indicates a decimal mismatch between the schema definition and the mapping for a specific element in a document. This error typically occurs in scenarios involving data transformation or integration processes, such as when using SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO).
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a discrepancy in the decimal representation of a specific element between the schema (which defines the structure of the data) and the mapping (which defines how data is transformed from one format to another). This can happen due to:
  
  Different Decimal Places: The schema may define an element with a certain number of decimal places, while the mapping may define it with a different number.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type defined in the schema (e.g., decimal, integer) may not match the data type used in the mapping.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: The mapping logic may not correctly handle the decimal values, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SRF_AUTHORING620 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Schema Definition:
  
  Review the schema definition for the element in question. Ensure that the decimal places and data types are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Open the mapping configuration and verify that the element is mapped correctly. Ensure that the decimal places and data types match those defined in the schema.
  
  
  
  Adjust Decimal Places:
  
  If there is a mismatch in the number of decimal places, adjust either the schema or the mapping to ensure they are consistent.
  
  
  
  Test the Mapping:
  
  After making adjustments, test the mapping to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data transformation works as expected.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult SAP documentation or community forums for additional guidance on handling decimal mismatches in your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling this error.
  Data Types in SAP: Familiarize yourself with the different data types and their properties in SAP, especially regarding decimal handling.
  Mapping Tools: If you are using graphical mapping tools, ensure that you are familiar with their features for handling data types and decimal places.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the SRF_AUTHORING620 error in your SAP environment.
