This error often arises when there are problems with the routines defined for InfoObjects or when there are inconsistencies in the data flow.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Routines: The error may occur if the transformation routines for the data source are missing or incorrectly defined. This can happen if the routines were deleted or not properly activated.
  Data Source Issues: If the data source is not correctly configured or if there are issues with the underlying data, it can lead to this error.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data being processed does not meet the expected format or constraints defined in the routines, it can trigger this error.

  Check Transformation Routines: Go to the Data Transformation settings in the SAP BW system and verify that all routines are correctly defined and activated. Ensure that there are no missing routines for the InfoObjects involved.
