• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO316 - Decision table setting 'allow no match' was set to true ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO316 indicates that the decision table setting "allow no match" has been set to true. This setting affects how the decision table processes input data when there is no matching rule for the provided input.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  The decision table is configured to allow no match, meaning that if there is no matching rule for the input data, the system will not return any results or will return a default value.
  The input data provided does not match any of the defined rules in the decision table, and the system is unable to handle this scenario appropriately due to the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Decision Table Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the decision table to ensure that the "allow no match" setting is appropriate for your use case. If you want the system to handle unmatched cases differently, you may want to set this option to false.
  
  
  
  Define Default Values:
  
  If you want the decision table to return a specific value when there is no match, you can define a default value for the decision table. This way, even if there is no matching rule, the system will return the default value instead of failing.
  
  
  
  Add Matching Rules:
  
  Review the rules defined in the decision table and ensure that there are sufficient rules to cover the expected input scenarios. If necessary, add more rules to handle the various cases that may arise.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the decision table with various input scenarios to ensure that it behaves as expected and that the error does not occur.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring decision tables and handling unmatched cases.
