• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE813 - Either supply ID or text for a message variable &1, but not both ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE813 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a message variable in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework. This error occurs when both an ID and a text are provided for a message variable, which is not allowed. The system expects either one or the other, but not both.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: When defining message variables in the FDT framework, both an ID and a text value are being supplied simultaneously for the same variable.
  Data Mapping Issues: If the data mapping or transformation logic is incorrectly set up, it may inadvertently lead to both values being populated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Message Variable Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings where the message variables are defined.
  Check the specific message variable that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that you are only providing either the ID or the text for the message variable, but not both.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Mapping:
  
  If the error arises from data mapping, review the mapping logic to ensure that it correctly assigns either the ID or the text based on the context.
  Modify the mapping rules to prevent both values from being assigned to the same variable.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Validate that the message variables are functioning as expected in the context of your data transfer or import process.
