• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW026 - Field &1 of UI Structure &2 uses table type; this is not supported ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW026 Field &1 of UI Structure &2 uses table type; this is not supported typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that utilize UI structures, particularly in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP Business Objects. This error indicates that a field in the specified UI structure is defined using a table type, which is not supported in the context where it is being used.
  Cause:
  
  Table Type Usage: The field in question is defined as a table type in the underlying data model, but the UI framework does not support displaying or processing table types directly in the UI.
  Incompatible Data Structure: The UI structure expects a different data type (like a simple data type or a structure) rather than a table type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or UI structure that leads to this incompatibility.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Data Type: Modify the data model to ensure that the field in question is not defined as a table type. Instead, it should be defined as a simple type or a structure that is compatible with the UI framework.
  Review UI Structure: Check the UI structure definition and ensure that all fields are compatible with the expected data types for the UI components being used.
  Adjust Data Retrieval Logic: If the field is intended to represent a collection of data, consider using a different approach to retrieve and display that data, such as using a separate entity or view that can handle the table data appropriately.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific UI technology you are using (e.g., Fiori, Web Dynpro) to understand the limitations and requirements for data types in UI structures.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for defining UI structures.

  By addressing the data type definition and ensuring compatibility with the UI framework, you should be able to resolve this error.
