• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXCEL_CORE007 - File &1/_rels/&2 not found in the package ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXCEL_CORE007 indicates that there is a problem with an Excel file that is being processed by the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that a required file (in this case, a file located in the _rels directory of the Excel package) is not found. This typically occurs when the Excel file is either corrupted or not structured correctly as a valid Excel package.
  Cause:
  
  Corrupted Excel File: The Excel file may be corrupted or improperly saved, leading to missing components that SAP expects to find.
  Improper File Format: The file may not be in the correct format (e.g., it should be an .xlsx file, which is a zipped package containing several files, including the _rels directory).
  Incomplete Download/Transfer: If the file was downloaded or transferred from another system, it may not have been fully transferred, resulting in missing files.
  File Renaming: If the file extension was changed incorrectly (e.g., from .xls to .xlsx), it may not be recognized as a valid Excel file.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Integrity: Open the Excel file in Microsoft Excel to see if it opens without errors. If it does not, try to repair the file using Excel's built-in repair feature.
  Re-save the File: If the file opens, save it again as a new .xlsx file. This can sometimes resolve issues with the file structure.
  Use a Different File: If the current file is corrupted beyond repair, try using a different Excel file that is known to be working.
  Check File Format: Ensure that the file is indeed an .xlsx file and not another format. If it is in an older format (like .xls), convert it to .xlsx.
  Re-download/Transfer the File: If the file was downloaded or transferred, try to download or transfer it again to ensure it is complete and not corrupted.
  Check for Add-ins or Macros: If the Excel file contains macros or add-ins, ensure they are compatible with the version of Excel you are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Excel File Structure: An .xlsx file is essentially a zip archive containing various XML files and folders, including the _rels directory. If any of these components are missing, it can lead to errors when the file is processed.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Support Portal for any specific notes related to this error message, as there may be updates or patches that address this issue.
