  The SAP error message SRM_ECM_MSG093 indicates a mismatch between the file extension and the MIME type of a file being processed in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. This error typically occurs when the system expects a certain file type based on its extension but receives a different MIME type, which can lead to issues in file handling or processing.
  Cause:
  
  File Extension Mismatch: The file extension (e.g., .pdf, .docx, .jpg) does not correspond to the actual content type of the file as determined by its MIME type.
  Incorrect MIME Type: The MIME type of the file is not recognized or does not match the expected type for the given file extension.
  File Corruption: The file may be corrupted or improperly formatted, leading to an incorrect MIME type being detected.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that incorrectly map file extensions to MIME types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify File Extension and Content: Check the file to ensure that the content matches the expected file extension. For example, if the file is a PDF, it should have a .pdf extension.
  Rename the File: If the file extension is incorrect, rename the file to match the correct extension for its content.
  Check MIME Type Configuration: Review the MIME type settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are correctly configured. This may involve checking the transaction codes related to MIME type settings.

  File Conversion: If necessary, convert the file to the correct format and ensure that the extension matches the new format.
