• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SDM_API054 - For Filtering only logical operator 'EQ' is supported ?

  The SAP error message CM_SDM_API054 indicates that there is an issue with the filtering criteria used in a query or API call within the SAP system. Specifically, this error message states that only the logical operator 'EQ' (which stands for "equals") is supported for filtering in the context of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are using a filtering condition that includes operators other than 'EQ', such as 'NE' (not equal), 'GT' (greater than), 'LT' (less than), etc.
  The API or function module you are calling has limitations on the types of filters that can be applied, and it only allows equality checks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Review the Filtering Criteria: Check the API call or query where the error is occurring. Ensure that you are only using the 'EQ' operator for filtering conditions.
  Modify the Query: If you need to filter based on conditions other than equality, you may need to adjust your approach. For example, if you need to filter for values that are not equal, you might need to retrieve a broader dataset and then apply additional filtering logic in your application code after the data has been fetched.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific API or function module you are using to understand its limitations and supported operations.
