  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WN405 - Table &: field &, value & not compatible with domain & ?

    The SAP error message WN405 indicates that there is a compatibility issue between the value being entered into a field and the domain defined for that field in the database. This typically occurs when the data type or the value itself does not conform to the specifications set by the domain.

    Cause:

    1. Data Type Mismatch: The value being entered does not match the expected data type defined in the domain (e.g., entering a string where a numeric value is expected).
    2. Value Out of Range: The value being entered is outside the permissible range defined by the domain (e.g., entering a number that is too large or too small).
    3. Incorrect Format: The format of the value does not match the expected format (e.g., date formats, decimal separators).
    4. Domain Restrictions: The domain may have specific restrictions or fixed values that the entered value does not satisfy.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Type: Verify that the data type of the value you are trying to enter matches the data type defined in the domain. For example, if the domain expects an integer, ensure you are not entering a string.
    2. Validate Value Range: Ensure that the value you are entering falls within the acceptable range defined by the domain. If there are minimum and maximum values, make sure your input adheres to these limits.
    3. Correct Format: If the field expects a specific format (like a date or currency), ensure that the value is formatted correctly. For example, use the correct date format (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) as required by your system settings.
    4. Review Domain Definition: Check the domain definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to understand the constraints and permissible values. If necessary, consult with your SAP administrator or developer to modify the domain if the current constraints are too restrictive.
    5. Use Valid Values: If the domain has fixed values, ensure that you are selecting from the allowed values.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view and modify domain definitions.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific error message.
    • Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the program to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the data being processed.
