    Cause

    This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or other SAP modules that involve characteristic value conversions, especially when dealing with classification data or characteristic values that need to be converted or re-typed.

    The root cause is usually:

    • A mismatch or inconsistency in characteristic value data types after a system upgrade, data migration, or transport.
    • Characteristic values that were previously stored in one format or data type but now require conversion to a new format.
    • The system detects that the characteristic values have not been converted or re-typed according to the current system requirements.

    What does the report RWRF_CHARVAL_TYPING do?

    • The report RWRF_CHARVAL_TYPING is a standard SAP program designed to re-run the conversion or re-typing of characteristic values.
    • It processes the characteristic values stored in the system and converts them to the correct data type or format expected by the current system.
    • Running this report ensures that all characteristic values are consistent and compatible with the current system configuration.
