Error in outbound queue. Packed field contains incorrect BCD format

Question

Hi,
Can anyone please help me with this.
In the outbound queue of CRM, the queues are stuck up in SYSFAIL state.
The error is ' Packed field contains incorrect BCD format.'
Can anyone suggest what this could mean?
Regards,
Pratima

Hi Pratima,
In the CRM Server, the structure has more fields than in the R/3 System. Fields BAPISDIT-TAX_AMOUNT, BAPISDIT-CR_EXCHRAT_V and BAPISDIT-EXCHRATEST_V have data type 'DEC' and do not exist in the R/3 System. During the initial download, the fields receive the value '020202...' and cause the termination "The packed field does not contain a correct BCD format" in function module CRM_SALESDOC_MAP_BAPI2MBDOC.
Use Transaction SE11 to add the following fields at the end of structure BAPISDIT in the R/3 System:
