• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/MES014 - File &1 was saved as number &2 ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/MES014 File &1 was saved as number &2 typically relates to the Application Interface Framework (AIF) in SAP. This message indicates that a file was processed and saved, but it is being referenced by a number instead of a file name, which can lead to confusion or issues in tracking the file.
  
  Cause:
  
  File Processing: The error usually occurs during the processing of files in the AIF, where the system saves the file but assigns it a numeric identifier instead of retaining the original file name.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in AIF that dictate how files are named or stored, leading to this behavior.
  File Naming Conventions: The system may not be able to retain the original file name due to naming conventions or restrictions in the file system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check AIF Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the AIF to ensure that file naming conventions are set correctly.
