UC772
- Field types of receiver &1 and sender field &2 are incompatible ?The SAP error message UC772 indicates that there is a type mismatch between the sender and receiver fields in a data transfer or mapping process. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data transfer between different systems, such as in IDocs, BAPIs, or when using the SAP Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO) tools.
Cause:
The error arises when the data types of the fields being mapped do not match. For example:
To resolve the UC772 error, you can take the following steps:
Check Data Types: Review the data types of both the sender and receiver fields. Ensure that they are compatible. You can do this by checking the data dictionary (SE11) or the relevant structures in the ABAP Dictionary.
Adjust Mapping: If you are using a mapping tool (like SAP PI/PO), ensure that the mapping is correctly configured. You may need to adjust the mapping to convert data types appropriately.
Modify Field Definitions: If you have control over the data structures, consider modifying the field definitions to ensure compatibility. This may involve changing the data type or length of one of the fields.
Use Conversion Functions: If the data types are inherently different but you need to transfer the data, consider using conversion functions in your mapping logic to convert the data from one type to another.
Test the Changes: After making adjustments, test the data transfer again to ensure that the error is resolved.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the incompatibility issue causing the UC772 error in SAP.
