  The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW024 indicates that there is a mismatch in the data type of a field in the UI structure. Specifically, the error message states that the field &1 in the UI structure &2 is not of the expected type &3. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications when the data model does not align with the expected structure defined in the UI.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field in the UI structure is expected to be of a certain data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, DATS), but the actual data type defined in the underlying data model or database table is different.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the fields are mapped between the backend and the frontend. This can happen if the data model has been changed but the UI has not been updated accordingly.
  Configuration Issues: If there are custom developments or configurations, they may not align with the standard definitions, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data type of the field &1 in the backend (e.g., in the database table or data element) and compare it with the expected type &3. Ensure that they match.
  Update UI Structure: If the data type has changed in the backend, update the UI structure accordingly. This may involve modifying the UI5 application or the OData service that provides the data to the UI.
  Review Mappings: Check the mappings in the OData service to ensure that the fields are correctly defined and that the data types are consistent.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the data flow from the backend to the frontend. This can help identify where the mismatch is occurring.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to the specific UI component or OData service you are working with.
