• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO771 - Binding to NUMC field has been deactivated ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO771 indicates that there is an issue with binding a field of type NUMC (numeric character) in the context of Field Data Management (FDT). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to bind a NUMC field in a way that is not allowed or has been deactivated.
  Cause:
  
  Field Type Mismatch: The field you are trying to bind is of type NUMC, but the binding or the context in which it is being used does not support NUMC fields.
  Deactivation of Binding: The binding for NUMC fields may have been explicitly deactivated in the configuration settings or due to a specific business logic that restricts the use of NUMC fields.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the FDT or the data model that is causing the binding to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Configuration: Review the configuration of the field in the FDT. Ensure that the field is correctly defined as a NUMC type and that it is intended to be used in the context you are trying to bind it to.
  Review Binding Settings: Check the binding settings in the FDT configuration. If the binding for NUMC fields has been deactivated, you may need to reactivate it or adjust the configuration to allow for NUMC fields.
  Data Model Validation: Validate the data model to ensure that all fields are correctly defined and that there are no conflicts or issues with the data types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to FDT and NUMC field bindings for any specific guidelines or restrictions that may apply.
