  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BUX_EEW025 - Only the first field can be a key field. ?

    The SAP error message BUX_EEW025 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of key fields in a data structure or table. Specifically, the error states that "Only the first field can be a key field," which means that in the context of the data structure you are working with, only the first field is allowed to be designated as a key field.

    Cause:

    This error typically arises in the following scenarios:

    1. Data Structure Definition: When defining a data structure or a table, multiple fields are incorrectly marked as key fields. In SAP, only the first field in a structure can be designated as a key field.
    2. Custom Development: If you are working with custom ABAP programs or enhancements, the error may occur due to incorrect definitions in the data dictionary (SE11) or in the ABAP code.
    3. Table Maintenance: When trying to maintain a table or structure in transaction codes like SE11 or SE16, if multiple fields are set as key fields, this error will be triggered.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Data Structure/Table Definition:

      • Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
      • Enter the name of the table or structure that is causing the error.
      • Check the field definitions and ensure that only the first field is marked as a key field. If there are multiple key fields, remove the key designation from all but the first field.
    2. Adjust ABAP Code:

      • If the error is occurring in custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that only the first field is being treated as a key field when defining internal tables or structures.
    3. Re-activate the Object:

      • After making the necessary changes, activate the table or structure to ensure that the changes take effect.
    4. Testing:

      • Test the changes by executing the transaction or program that was causing the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Key Fields in SAP: Key fields are used to uniquely identify records in a table. In SAP, the first field is often used as the primary key, and it is important to follow the conventions set by the SAP data dictionary.
    • Data Dictionary Transactions: Familiarize yourself with transactions like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE16 (Data Browser) for managing and troubleshooting data structures and tables.
    • ABAP Development: If you are involved in ABAP development, understanding how to define structures and tables correctly is crucial to avoid such errors.
