2273330 - Value Conversion in Migration of Customers for Values Region / State Does not get Saved

Symptom

You are migrating Customers using the Migration Tool.

You maintain a Value Conversion for the value Region and save it.

Then you proceed to the next scenario step: Simulation.

Here the system throws the error message 'Value conversion missing or incomplete; complete remaining tasks' with reference to the previously maintained and saved Region value.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to the Implementation Projects view.
  3. Select the Open Activity List button.
  4. Search and open the activity Migration of Customers.
  5. Select the Migrate Customers Using the Migration Tool link.
  6. Select the Upload button and upload the file to be migrated.
  7. Select the button Execute Migration then chose Execute Migration Step by Step.
  8. In the Simulation step the system says 'Value conversion missing or incomplete; complete remaining tasks'.

This error is referring to the Region Value Conversion although it has been maintained and saved previously.

Cause

The mapping only recognizes Region/State names with the length of up to 6 characters. This means when entering for example ABCDEFGH in your file and filling out the Value Conversion correctly, internally the system stores only up to 6 characters ABCDEF.

This means, the next time you run through the Value Conversion, the system does not find any entry for ABCDEFGH.

Resolution

Please abbreviate State/Region names in your source file to not more than 6 characters. Then the mapping will work fine.
