  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS_TOOL894 Elementary type &1 was adjusted
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This message is an informational or warning message generated by the SAP Workbench or ABAP Dictionary tools during the processing of data element or elementary type definitions.
  
  The message indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the definition of an elementary data type (elementary type) during an operation such as activation, transport, or dictionary check.
  The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name of the elementary type that was adjusted.
  The adjustment usually happens because the system detected inconsistencies or outdated attributes in the elementary type definition and corrected them to comply with current SAP standards or dictionary rules.
  Typical reasons for adjustment include:
  
  Changes in length or type attributes to align with underlying domain or data element definitions.
  Correction of deprecated or incompatible data type attributes.
  Harmonization of type definitions after system upgrades or dictionary changes.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle
  
  
  Review the adjusted elementary type:
  
  Check the data element or elementary type mentioned in the message to understand what changes were made. You can do this by:
  
  Going to transaction SE11 (ABAP Dictionary).
  Enter the elementary type name.
  Review its attributes (data type, length, decimals, conversion routines, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check transport or activation logs:
  
  If this message appeared during transport or activation, review the logs to see the exact adjustments.
  
  
  Verify impact on dependent objects:

  If the automatic adjustment is not desired or causes issues, you may:
  
  Manually adjust the elementary type attributes in SE11.
