  The SAP error message CFD_TEMPLATE006 typically relates to issues with custom fields in the context of data transfer, particularly when using the Custom Fields and Logic (CFL) framework. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or deviation in the field ID during the data transfer process.
  Cause:
  
  Field ID Mismatch: The error occurs when the field ID specified in the data transfer does not match the expected field ID in the target system or configuration.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the fields are mapped between the source and target systems, leading to discrepancies.
  Data Transfer Configuration: The configuration for the data transfer might not be set up correctly, causing the system to look for a field ID that does not exist or is not correctly defined.
