  The SAP error message EEW_WIZARD009 indicates that there is an incompatibility between a check table and a data element in the context of a data dictionary object, typically when working with domain values or foreign key relationships. This error often arises during the creation or modification of data elements, domains, or when defining foreign key relationships in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Data Types: The data type of the field in the main table does not match the data type of the field in the check table.
  Length Mismatch: The length of the fields in the main table and the check table may not be the same.
  Domain Issues: The domain assigned to the data element may not be compatible with the check table.
  Incorrect Foreign Key Assignment: The foreign key relationship may have been incorrectly defined, leading to mismatches.

  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields in both the main table and the check table are compatible. For example, if one is a CHAR type, the other should also be CHAR.
