  The SAP error message 5U758, which indicates "Error in compatibility of fields table and data table," typically arises when there is a mismatch between the structure of a table and the data being processed or inserted into that table. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during data uploads, report generation, or when executing certain transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Field Mismatch: The fields defined in the data table do not match the fields defined in the corresponding structure or table. This could be due to changes in the table structure (e.g., adding or removing fields) that have not been reflected in the data being processed.
  Data Type Issues: The data types of the fields in the data table may not be compatible with the fields in the structure. For example, trying to insert a string into a numeric field.
  Length Mismatch: The length of the data being inserted may exceed the defined length of the field in the table.

  Adjust Field Lengths: If the data exceeds the defined length of the fields, truncate or modify the data to fit the required length.
  Include All Required Fields: Make sure that all required fields are included in the data being processed. If any fields are mandatory, they must be populated.
  Check for Updates: If the table structure has been recently changed, ensure that any related programs or data uploads are updated to reflect these changes.
