• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT411 - BAdI impl. '&1' uses a non-flat structure; only flat ones allowed ?

  The SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT411 indicates that a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation is using a non-flat structure, which is not allowed in the context of the Consent Management functionality. This error typically arises when the BAdI implementation is expected to work with flat data structures, but the developer has defined or is trying to use a nested or hierarchical structure instead.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Flat Structure: The BAdI implementation is using a data structure that contains nested tables or complex types, which are not supported in this context.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model used in the BAdI implementation may not conform to the expected flat structure required by the Consent Management framework.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the BAdI definition or the way it is being called.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the BAdI Implementation: Check the implementation of the BAdI to ensure that it is using a flat structure. You may need to refactor the code to eliminate any nested structures.
  Use Flat Data Types: Ensure that the data types used in the BAdI implementation are flat. This means using simple data types or flat tables without nested elements.
  Check BAdI Definition: Verify the BAdI definition in the SAP system to ensure that it is correctly set up to accept flat structures.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific BAdI to understand the expected data structure and any constraints that apply.
  Testing: After making changes, test the BAdI implementation thoroughly to ensure that it works as expected without triggering the error.
