  The SAP error message BRF154, which states "Variable stack with processing of expression &1 is empty," typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when there is an issue with the evaluation of a rule or expression. This error indicates that the variable stack, which is used to hold the values of variables during the execution of a rule, is empty when it is expected to contain values.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Rule Configuration: The rule or expression may be incorrectly configured, leading to a situation where it cannot retrieve or compute the necessary values.
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch in the expected data types of the variables being processed, leading to an inability to evaluate the expression.

  Debugging: Use the debugging tools available in BRF+ to trace the execution of the rule and identify where the variable stack is becoming empty. This can help pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
  Check Execution Context: Make sure that the execution context has all the necessary data available. If the rule is being executed in a specific context (like a transaction or a specific application), ensure that the data is correctly set up in that context.
