• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE248 - Tables &1 and &2 must either both contain an version keyfield or both not ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE248 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the configuration of two tables in the context of the SAP Fiori Data Transformation (FDT) framework. Specifically, the error states that both tables must either contain a version key field or neither of them should. This is important for ensuring that the data transformation process can correctly handle versioning.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from one of the following scenarios:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: One of the tables has been configured to include a version key field while the other does not. This inconsistency can lead to issues during data processing.
  Incorrect Table Mapping: When mapping tables in the FDT framework, if the versioning settings are not aligned, this error can occur.
  Changes in Table Structure: If there have been recent changes to the structure of either table (e.g., adding or removing a version key field), it may lead to this error if the changes are not reflected in both tables.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you should ensure that both tables are configured consistently regarding the version key field. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  Check Table Definitions: Review the definitions of both tables involved in the error. Look for the presence of a version key field in each table.
  Modify Configuration:
  
  If one table has a version key field and the other does not, decide whether to add the version key field to the table that lacks it or remove it from the table that has it.
  Ensure that both tables are aligned in terms of their versioning strategy.
  
  
  Update Data Transformation Logic: If you are using any data transformation logic that references these tables, ensure that it is updated to reflect the changes made to the table configurations.
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data transformation process to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data is processed correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Version Key Field: This is a field used to manage different versions of data records. It is crucial in scenarios where historical data needs to be maintained or when changes to data records are tracked over time.
  FDT Framework: The Fiori Data Transformation framework is used in SAP to facilitate the transformation of data between different formats and structures, often in the context of Fiori applications.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: If the issue persists, consider checking SAP Notes or the official SAP documentation for any known issues or additional guidance related to the FDT framework and error FDT_CORE248.
  
  By ensuring that both tables are consistently configured regarding the version key field, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your data transformation tasks.
