• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE814 - Either supply free text or a T100 message for message, but not both ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE814 indicates that there is a conflict in the way messages are being defined or processed in the system. Specifically, the error states: "Either supply free text or a T100 message for message, but not both." This means that the system is expecting either a free text message or a T100 message (which is a standard message stored in the SAP message table), but not both at the same time.
  Cause:
  
  Message Configuration: The error typically arises when a message is being configured in a way that both a free text and a T100 message are provided simultaneously. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when customizing messages in the SAP Fiori or SAP GUI environments.
  Data Entry Error: It may also occur due to incorrect data entry or configuration in the message handling settings, where both types of messages are inadvertently specified.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Message Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area where the message is defined (e.g., in the FDT or other message handling areas).
  Ensure that you are only using one type of message: either a free text message or a T100 message, but not both.
  If you need to use a T100 message, make sure to remove any free text that has been entered.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If this error is occurring in a custom development scenario, review the code to ensure that it is not trying to set both message types at the same time.
  Modify the code to ensure that only one type of message is being set based on the logic you want to implement.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the messages are displayed as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  T100 Messages: These are standard messages stored in the SAP system that can be reused across different applications. They are defined in the T100 table and can be translated into different languages.
  Free Text Messages: These are custom messages that can be defined by the user and are not stored in the T100 table. They allow for more flexibility in message content.
  SAP Fiori and FDT: If you are working with SAP Fiori or the FDT (Form Data Tool), ensure that you are familiar with how messages are handled in these environments, as they may have specific configurations or requirements.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
