While inserting, in anycase you are providing NULL value for the NOT NULL column, this error occurs. Alter the table to set default value for the column.

ALTER TABLE <TABLE-NAME> MODIFY <COLUMN-NAME> DEFAULT <DEFAULT-VALUE>

example : ALTER TABLE TABLE_X MODIFY COLUMN_Y DEFAULT '1m'

Hope this helps

You set default value for both the columns of the same table.

ALTER TABLE TABLE_X MODIFY COLUMN_Y DEFAULT '1m'
ALTER TABLE TABLE_X MODIFY COLUMN_Z DEFAULT 1
