Migration Template Intelligence reports this finding with the default severity “Critical”.
About the engine: Migration Cockpit load files (templates) validated against their declared schema: mandatory fields, lengths, types, keys, hierarchy
How to fix it
Correct the values to the declared type: dates as YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD or the country-specific format (31.12.2026 / 12/31/2026), times as HH:MM:SS, NUMC fields digits only, numbers with at most the declared decimals. Do not change the formatting of the template cells.
How ERP Preflight detects it
The analysis is deterministic: the same exported files and the same knowledge snapshot always produce the same findings. No SAP system connection is required — you upload exports.

- What to export
SAP data migration template (Migration Cockpit 'Migrate Your Data' load file): the Excel 2003 XML spreadsheet as downloaded from SAP (all sheets, document properties OBJECT_NAME / VERSION / LANGUAGE, field list) or the CSV of one data sheet including its header rows (as converted from an XLSX by the upload): title row, SAP structure names, SAP field names, the type-specification row ('ETE;80;0;C;80;0'), group names ('Schlüssel' / 'Key') and field descriptions ('*' = mandatory), then the data rows. EN and DE templates.
- Required input
- A migration template data sheet with its type-specification row (XML spreadsheet or CSV)
- Evidence
- Each finding points to the artifact path, line and column, the code snippet and the SHA-256 of the uploaded file. Findings without such a pointer are demoted to confidence UNKNOWN.
- Confidence
- The verdict rests on your artifacts only. Each finding carries a confidence class (VERIFIED, RULE_DERIVED, INFERRED or UNKNOWN) that shows how strong the evidence is.
