3392907 - Error "Data type CURR is not supported at this position, see long text" – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Error "Data type CURR is not supported at this position, see long text" occurs, when checking/publishing a custom CDS view in app Custom CDS Views.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a custom CDS view in app Custom CDS Views.

2. Add a calculation like sample codes below. (Type of AmountInCompanyCodeCurrency is CURR.)

    case when I_OperationalAcctgDocItem.FinancialAccountType = 'S'
    then
      AmountInCompanyCodeCurrency
    else
      0 
    end

3. Check/Publish the custom CDS view.

4. Error message "Data type CURR is not supported at this position, see long text" shows up. 

An element of data type CURR has a CUKY-reference and requires a decimal shift before using it in expressions.

In CASE expressions either all THEN- and ELSE-branches need to be of type CURR or none of them.

There are two options to resolve this issue:

1. Apply one of the following functions to shift the values of CURR-elements:

    CURR_TO_DECFLOAT_AMOUNT
    GET_NUMERIC_VALUE

2. In CASE expressions use typed literals, e.g. abap.curr'0.00', instead of plain numeric values.

    Sample codes:

    case when I_OperationalAcctgDocItem.FinancialAccountType = 'S'
    then
      AmountInCompanyCodeCurrency
    else
      cast( 0 as ABAP.CURR( xx, x ) )
    end
