How To Fix AQV287 - Recursive field references are not allowed

AQV287 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AQV - Message texts for SAP Query

• Message number: 287

• Message text: Recursive field references are not allowed

What causes this issue?

When defining a local field, you referred to other local fields either
for copying attributes (reference field) or for formulating a
calculation formula. One of these local fields used is the field just
defined itself (direct recursion) or it uses the field just defined in
its own definition (indirect recursion).
The definition of a local field may not refer to itself.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Change the definition of the local field so that there are no more
references to itself.

AQV287 - Details

• The SAP error message AQV287, which states "Recursive field references are not allowed," typically occurs in the context of ABAP programming, particularly when dealing with data dictionary objects like structures or tables. This error indicates that there is an attempt to define a field in a way that it references itself, either directly or indirectly, which is not permitted in ABAP.
  
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Direct Recursive Reference: A field in a structure or table is defined to reference itself.
  Indirect Recursive Reference: A field in a structure references another field that eventually leads back to the original field, creating a loop.
  Improper Use of Data Types: Using a data type that inherently creates a recursive relationship, such as a structure that includes itself.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AQV287 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Data Structure: Check the definition of the structure or table where the error
