  Check Data Type Definition: Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the data type mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the attributes are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Adjust Program Code: If the data type has been modified, you may need to adjust the ABAP code that uses this data type. Look for any references to the data type in your programs and ensure they align with the new definition.
  Recompile Objects: After making changes, recompile the affected programs, function modules, or classes to ensure that they are using the updated data type correctly.
  Transport Requests: If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests are correctly moved to the quality or production environment, and that all dependent objects are included.
