  Parameter Mismatch: The input parameter being passed to a function module or method does not match the expected structure type defined in the interface.
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, this can also be due to incorrect configuration settings in the related module or application.

  Debugging: Use the debugger to inspect the data being passed to the function/module. This will help you identify if the data type is incorrect.
