• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS072 - Supply parameter or value but not both (position &1) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS072 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function or expression in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or similar data processing scenarios. The specific message "Supply parameter or value but not both" suggests that the system expects either a parameter or a value to be provided, but both have been supplied simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The error typically arises when a configuration or expression is set up incorrectly, where both a parameter and a literal value are being provided for the same field or expression.
  Data Mapping Issues: If you are mapping data from one source to another, it may be that the mapping is incorrectly defined, leading to both a parameter and a value being specified.
  Expression Logic: In expressions or calculations, the logic may inadvertently require both a parameter and a value, which is not permissible.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Expression/Configuration: Check the specific expression or configuration where the error is occurring. Ensure that you are only providing either a parameter or a value, but not both.
  Adjust Data Mapping: If this error arises during data mapping, review the mapping rules to ensure that they are correctly defined. Remove any conflicting definitions that provide both a parameter and a value.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, use them to trace the execution and identify where the conflicting parameters are being set.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module or function you are working with to understand the expected input formats and constraints.
