This error occurs when the field types defined in the alternative key structure do not match the corresponding field types in the node structure.

  Configuration Issues: There may be an issue in the configuration of the BOPF model where the alternative key is not correctly aligned with the node structure.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the BOPF configuration, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of the fields in both the alternative key structure and the node structure. Ensure that they match exactly (e.g., CHAR vs. NUMC, length, etc.).
  Adjust BOPF Configuration: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the BOPF configuration. This can be done in the BOPF configuration transaction (e.g., using transaction BOPF or BOPF_MODEL).
  Regenerate the BOPF Model: After making changes, regenerate the BOPF model to ensure that all configurations are updated.
  Check for Consistency: Ensure that all related configurations (like the data dictionary, structures, and BOPF definitions) are consistent and correctly defined.
  Transport Requests: If the issue arises after a transport, ensure that all related objects have been transported correctly.
