3779289 - Material Replication to C4C Fails with the error: "The value is not within the value range of the XML schema type 'decimal' or itgoes against a limitation"

Replication error occurs during Material Replication Initiated by External System (web service inbound). It fails with error message:  "The value is not within the value range of the XML schema type 'decimal' or itgoes against a limitation" 

• SAP Cloud for Customer 
• SAP ERP
• SAP S/4 Hana

1. Initiate material/product replication from the external system to C4C.
2. Monitor the inbound message processing in C4C and observe the failure with the quoted XML schema decimal validation error.

The message payload field SenderSequenceNumberValue contains an ISO-8601 timestamp (for example, 2026-07-12T09:29:58Z) instead of the expected numeric sequence (for example, 20260712154115), which violates the XML schema type decimal.

1. Inspect the failed message payload and confirm that SenderSequenceNumberValue contains a timestamp with “T” and “Z”.
2. Update and redeploy the latest standard-delivered Cloud Integration (CPI) iFlow named "Replicate Material from SAP Business Suite" to ensure the correct formatting is applied.
3. Re-trigger the material replication and verify that the inbound message is processed successfully.
