  The SAP error message EEW_WIZARD006 ("Select a type for field &1") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enhancement Framework, particularly when you are working with the Enhancement Implementation or the Customizing of fields in a Business Object.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that a field (denoted by &1) has not been assigned a data type.

  Edit the Field Definition:
  
  Locate the field in the structure or table definition.
  Ensure that a valid data type is assigned to the field. You can choose from standard data types available in SAP.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate: After assigning the data type, save your changes and activate the enhancement implementation.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the field behaves as expected.
