• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/ACTIVATION065 - Neither data element nor data type is supplied for field &1 ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/ACTIVATION065 indicates that there is an issue with a field in a configuration or data model where neither a data element nor a data type has been specified. This typically occurs during the activation of a configuration object, such as a structure or a table, in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Element or Data Type: The field in question has not been assigned a data element or a data type, which is required for the system to understand how to handle the data for that field.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an error in the configuration settings or the way the data model is defined.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, it might not have been properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Definition:
  
  Go to the relevant data dictionary object (like a table or structure) in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Verify that the field in question has a valid data element or data type assigned to it.
  
  
  
  Assign Data Element or Data Type:
  
  If the field is missing a data element, you can create a new data element or assign an existing one that fits the intended use of the field.
  If a data type is needed, ensure that the field is defined with a proper data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, etc.).
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Object:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to activate the object again. This can be done in the same transaction (SE11) or through the relevant configuration transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request for any missing objects or dependencies that may not have been included.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any related documentation or notes that may provide additional context or specific instructions related to the configuration you are working with.
