  The SAP error message /AIF/VMAP_MESSAGES025 indicates that there is an issue related to value mapping in the Application Interface Framework (AIF). Specifically, the message states that the value mapping type is set to "none," which means that the system does not have a defined mapping for the specified value, and as a result, it cannot display the type.
  Cause:
  
  No Value Mapping Defined: The primary cause of this error is that there is no value mapping defined for the specific data type or field in question. This can happen if the value mapping configuration has not been set up correctly or if the mapping has been deleted or not activated.
