Biztalk Discoveries, Experiences https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/biztalk/feed.xml My Biztalk Discoveries, Experiences on day to day work, during Dev , Qa ,Deployment , Production environments etc Wed, 17 Apr 2019 03:19:08 GMT en-US hourly 1 Biztalk Map Runtime Error: Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/biztalk/biztalk-map-runtime-error-error-converting-data-type-nvarchar-to-numeric Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:20:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/biztalk/2008/08/27/biztalk-map-runtime-error-error-converting-data-type-nvarchar-to-numeric/ this Error is quite cryptic because it doesnt say which field failed. 

After a long struggle I figured out that it was because of mapping a string element to a decimal element in xml.

it was trying to insert empty string "" into a decimal field.

The way i resolved this was to put a logical numeric functoid , followed by a value mapping functoid which resolved this.
