• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 28162 - &1: expected Boolean facet, found &2 ?

  The SAP error message "28162 &1: expected Boolean facet, found &2" typically occurs in the context of SAP systems that utilize XML or XSD (XML Schema Definition) for data validation. This error indicates that the system expected a Boolean value (true or false) for a specific facet but found a different type of value instead.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The error arises when the data being processed does not conform to the expected data type. For example, if a field is defined to accept a Boolean value but receives a string or numeric value instead.
  Schema Definition Issues: There may be an issue with the XML schema definition where the expected data type is not correctly defined or is being violated by the incoming data.
  Incorrect Mapping: If there is a mapping between different data sources or formats, the mapping may not correctly translate the expected Boolean values.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Input: Review the data being sent to the system. Ensure that any fields expected to be Boolean are indeed being populated with true/false values and not with other types of data.
  Validate XML/XSD: If you are working with XML data, validate the XML against the XSD to ensure that it adheres to the defined schema. Use XML validation tools to identify discrepancies.
  Review Schema Definitions: If you have access to the schema definitions, check to ensure that the expected data types are correctly defined. If there are discrepancies, update the schema accordingly.
  Debug Mapping Logic: If there is a mapping layer involved (e.g., between different systems), review the mapping logic to ensure that Boolean values are being correctly translated and passed through.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for any specific notes or updates related to this error message, as there may be patches or updates that address this issue.
