2004880 - Migration of Customer Contract Fails Due to Invalid Start Date and Time Format

Symptom

When performing the migration of customer contracts, the below error message occurs:
“ISO codes for the start date and time are not valid.”

Environment

SAP Business Bydesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Select the Overview view.
  3. Search for and open the Migration of Customer Contracts activity.
  4. Click Migrate Customer Contracts Using the Migration Tool.
  5. Select the XML file.
  6. Click on Execute Migration and select the Execute Migration Step-by-Step option.
  7. During the Simulate Import step, the below error occurs:
    “ISO codes for start date and time not valid.”

Cause

When validating the file in the migration tool, the date values are not maintained in the required format. The valid ISO date format is YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z. However, even after entering the dates in the correct format, the values revert to the previously incorrect format when the file is uploaded to the migration tool.

Resolution

The Contract End Date for one or more contracts has been maintained in an invalid ISO date format. The date must be entered in the format YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z.
If the month or day contains a single digit, a leading zero must be added. For example, 1 March YYYY must be entered as YYYY-03-01T00:00:00Z instead of YYYY-3-1T00:00:00Z.
