2LIS_04_P_MATNR - Prob in activating the Datasource in R/3

Question

Hello,
I am trying to activate datasource 2LIS_04_P_MATNR in r/3 in Tcode : rsa6/rsa5  and I am getting a warning that says
The even-numbered length of the DEC field I_DLZ_EX can lead to problems
I serached and found that note : 641744 is applicable.
The solution in the note says that there are 3 options to rectify this error as below:
If the field is not manipulated in the customer exit or elsewhere, no processing is required.
If you change the field, the following possible solutions are available:
You can make sure that the number of the characters does not increase after the manipulation.
If you can change the extract structure of the DataSource without affecting other scenarios (for example, if it was generated in transaction RSO2), you can increase the length of the DEC field (or CURR, QUAN) there to the next odd character (in the example above: from DEC 4 on DEC 5).
If neither of these solutions are possible, you can use a customer append that contains a relevant DEC field (or CURR, QUAN) with the next highest odd length. This can be used for the result of the calculations. This means that you do not have to manipulate the previous field.
I am opting the 3rd option i.e. to use an append structure with a field QUAN(in my case) that has next highest odd length
I am using the field BDMNG(length 13) from table RESB. The feild mentioned in the warning have length 12.
The problem is still occuring.
Am I able to understand the note correctly or am I missing something?
Can anyone help here?

Thanks Deva. I ignored the warning and went ahead with the enhancement.
After the activation of datasource I deleted and filled the setup tables, but the NPRT log showed 0 records.
Then after reading few threads at SCN I came to a conculsion that my setup table is refering to view CAUFV which does not contain data for order category AUTYP 10(PP Production Order) and therefore the data extracted is 0.
There was a thread mentioning the same problem that said (steps to fill the setup tables for 2LIS_04_PECOMP(Repetitive manufacturing Component view)) that the solution was to run OLIFBW Tcode after completing OLI4BW setup. So i did the same. But still my NPRT log still shows 0 records.
Also I checked AUFK table. It does not contain any data for AUTYP 10.
Please advise what should be the correct way to solve this.
