• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING035 - Multi. subfields of a key field are not permitted: field no &1; &2/&3/&4 ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING035 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a key field in the Application Interface Framework (AIF). Specifically, it states that multiple subfields of a key field are not permitted, which means that the system has detected an inconsistency in how the key fields are defined in your AIF configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Key Field Configuration: The error typically arises when a key field is defined with multiple subfields in a way that is not allowed. In AIF, key fields should be unique and should not have overlapping or multiple subfields that could lead to ambiguity.
  Data Mapping Issues: If the data being processed contains multiple values for a key field that should be unique, this can trigger the error.
  Incorrect Interface Configuration: The interface configuration in AIF may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in how key fields are defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Key Field Definitions: Check the configuration of the key fields in your AIF interface. Ensure that each key field is defined correctly and does not have multiple subfields that could cause conflicts.
  Adjust Data Mapping: If the data being processed is causing the issue, review the mapping of the data to ensure that it aligns with the expected structure of the key fields.
  Modify Interface Configuration: If necessary, modify the interface configuration to ensure that key fields are defined in a way that adheres to AIF requirements. This may involve removing or consolidating subfields.
  Testing: After making changes, test the interface to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that data is processed correctly.
