• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/API_CUST087 - No changeable fields for interface found ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/API_CUST087 No changeable fields for interface found typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when you are trying to process an interface that does not have any fields marked as changeable. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Changeable Fields Defined: The interface you are working with may not have any fields defined as changeable in the configuration. This means that the system does not recognize any fields that can be modified during the processing of the interface.
  
  
  Incorrect Interface Configuration: The interface might not be configured correctly, leading to the absence of changeable fields. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the AIF configuration.
  
  
  Data Mapping Issues: If the data mapping for the interface is not set up properly, it may result in no fields being recognized as changeable.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the interface, you might be working with an outdated version that does not have the necessary changeable fields.
  
  
  Solution:

  Define Changeable Fields:
  
  If no fields are marked as changeable, you will need to define which fields should be changeable. This can typically be done in the AIF configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Data Mapping:
  
  Check the data mapping for the interface to ensure that it is correctly set up. Make sure that the fields you want to change are included in the mapping.
