Problem with a data type (quantum13.3) in the mapping

Question

Hello all,
i have an automated activity in my process which access to a webservice. (The Webservice returned the details of a purchase requisition) At the webservice output mapping i get this error:
"Incompatible expression type ... Expected: com.sap.dictionary.double ... Found: quantum13.3..."
Has anyone an idea how i could accept this data type? Has anyone ever heard of the type "quantum13.3"?
Regards,
Bastian

Hi Bastian,
This error is showing up whenever you try to map incompatible types.
The type of the element you map to is most likely the 'com.sap.dictionary.double' whereas the service is returning an element of type 'quantum13.3'. The mapping expects that both types fit to each other, but they do not.
Check the used service for that specific type. Perhaps it is just a restriction of a 'well-known' type or the service returns the data in another format / element as well.
*edit'
Looking up the type via a well-known search engine showed the following definition:
      <xsd:simpleType name="quantum13.3">
        <xsd:restriction base="xsd:decimal">
          <xsd:totalDigits value="13"/>
          <xsd:fractionDigits value="3"/>
        </xsd:restriction>
      </xsd:simpleType>
Looks like this is a normal 'xsd:decimal' then. Try using 'xsd:decimal' instead of 'com.sap.dictionary.double' within the target element.
Hope that helps,
Martin
