I am getting warning as "Implicit conversion from source type "dfloat" to result type "decimal[13,2]": Possible range/precision limitation."

Wether it has any impact on data

Depends on the data. It's telling you that you are emptying a 10 pound bag into a 5 pound bag and that it may not all fit. The outcome totally depends on what's in the bigger bag.

It's an alert message. Not every dfloat number can be represented as decimal[13,2]. The key word in the message is "possible". If you are 100% certain that all your data will fit, then you can ignore this alert message.
