  The SAP error message CFD_ABAP_MANAGED_FLD025 indicates that a field in a database table is not correctly defined with a data element that has an associated domain. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a database table in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) and the field definition does not meet the required standards for data types.
  
  Cause:
  
  Field Definition: The field in question is defined directly with a data type (like CHAR, NUMC, etc.) instead of using a data element that is linked to a domain.
  Data Element Missing: The data element that should be associated with the field is either missing or not properly defined.
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model may have inconsistencies where fields are not adhering to the best practices of using data elements and domains.
