This error typically occurs during data import processes, such as when using tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench), BAPIs, or other data upload methods.
  Causes:
  
  Data Format Issues: The data being imported may not conform to the expected format or structure. This could include incorrect data types, missing mandatory fields, or invalid values.
  Validation Errors: The data may fail validation checks defined in the target system. For example, if the data violates business rules or constraints (like unique keys).
