SAP Message Q6055 - &1 could be incompatible with &2

Diagnosis
You entered field &V1& as an additional source field for reference fieldV2. these fields have different data types, which indicates that theymay not be compatible.
(At least one of the fields does not have a domain, which is why thedata types are listed here.)

  • Field &V1& has data type &V3&.

  • Field &V2& has data type &V4&.

  • Usually additional source fields are used to assign fields with the samemeaning, but that are from different tables, to one target field. (Forexample, they can be used to link a document number of a header tablewith the document number in the corresponding items table). If the datatypes of the fields are different, then it is very likely that thefields have different meanings.
    Moreover, assigning several fields with different data types to a targetfield may lead to technical problems. When the archive informationsystem fills an infostructure it has to write the correpsonding valuesinto the same field of a database table. If the data types are notcompatible, the program may terminate while it is filling theinfostructure.

    Procedure
    Check if you really want to enter &V1& as additional source field. Youmay have made a mistake while typing.
    If you really meant to type &V1&, then close this message by pressingEnter.
