How To Fix FDT_CORE048 - Binding to &1 not possible; &1 is already bound to &2; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_CORE - Formula & Derivation Tool: Core

• Message number: 048

• Message text: Binding to &1 not possible; &1 is already bound to &2; see long text

What causes this issue?

For the current data object, you have tried to establish a data binding
relationship to elementary data object &v1&. However, data object &v1&
is already bound to data object &v2&. Binding the current data object to
data object &v1& would therefore lead to a cascaded binding. This is not
permitted in BRFplus.

System Response

The data object cannot be saved with the current data binding. If the
data object had a valid type assignment before, this type is
automatically restored upon saving.

How to fix this error?

To solve the problem, choose one of the following alternatives:
Use one of the built-in elementary data types for a direct type
assignment.
For the current data object, define a data binding relationship to data
object &v2& instead of data object &v1&. As a result, the current data
object as well as data object &v1& are both bound to the same data
object &v2&.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE048 - Binding to &1 not possible; &1 is already bound to &2; see long text ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE048 indicates that there is an issue with binding in the context of the Flexible Data Import (FDI) framework. Specifically, the error message states that the binding to a certain object (denoted as &1) is not possible because it is already bound to another object (denoted as &2). 
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to bind a data object (like a field or a structure) that is already associated with another data object.
  There may be a conflict in the configuration or setup of the data binding in your FDI project.
  The same data element is being referenced multiple times in a way that is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Bindings: Review the existing bindings in your FDI configuration. Identify where the object &1 is already bound to &2. You may need to navigate through the FDI configuration to find the conflicting bindings.
  
  
  Modify Bindings: If you find that the object is indeed bound to another object, you will need to either:
  
  Change the binding of the object &1 to a different object that is not currently in use.
  Remove or modify the existing binding that is causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model: Ensure that your data model is designed correctly and that there are no unintended overlaps in the bindings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the Flexible Data Import framework for more detailed guidance on binding rules and best practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data import works as expected.
