How To Fix UCT8205 - System has adjusted the offset in target field &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCT8 - Message class for UCT8(mapping)

• Message number: 205

• Message text: System has adjusted the offset in target field &1

What causes this issue?

The mapping rule for target field &V1& contains a move with a
concatenation rule. During method execution, the system discovered that
the offset and length for concatenation component &V2& exceed the
boundary of the actual data. The mapping rule for concatenation
component &V2& is presumably defined incorrectly.

System Response

The offset in target field &V1& for concatenation component &V2& has
been adjusted for the actual data boundary.

How to fix this error?

If the offset and length for concatenation component &V2& are incorrect,
examine the mapping rule for target field &V1& and change the settings .
If applicable, execute the method again.
If the result is correct, you can disregard this warning message.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCT8205 - System has adjusted the offset in target field &1 ?

  The SAP error message UCT8205 indicates that the system has adjusted the offset in a target field during a data transfer or processing operation. This typically occurs in the context of data conversion or mapping, where the system is trying to align data from a source field to a target field but encounters an issue with the data format or length.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The source and target fields may have different data types or lengths, leading to an adjustment in the offset.
  Field Length Issues: The length of the data being transferred may exceed the defined length of the target field, causing the system to adjust the offset to fit the data.
  Conversion Errors: If there are conversion routines involved (e.g., converting from one format to another), any errors in these routines can lead to offset adjustments.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between source and target fields may not be correctly defined, leading to misalignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the definitions of the source and target fields to ensure they match in terms of data type and length.
  Adjust Mapping: If you are using a mapping tool or process, verify that the mapping between the source and target fields is correctly defined.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being transferred to ensure it conforms to the expected format and length for the target field.
  Review Conversion Routines: If there are any conversion routines in place, check them for errors or misconfigurations that could lead to incorrect data handling.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the data flow and identify where the offset adjustment is occurring.
