• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS363 - Gateway &1 does not have a default branch ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS363 indicates that a gateway (or decision point) in a decision table or expression does not have a default branch defined. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Business Rules Framework (BRF+), where decision tables or expressions are used to evaluate conditions and return results.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Default Branch: The gateway in your decision table or expression is expected to have a default branch that specifies what should happen if none of the defined conditions are met. If this is not set, the system raises this error.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the decision table or expression setup, leading to the absence of a default branch.
  Logical Flow Issue: The logical flow of the decision-making process may not be complete, resulting in scenarios where no conditions are satisfied.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define a Default Branch:
  
  Open the decision table or expression where the error is occurring.
  Identify the gateway that is causing the issue.
  Add a default branch that specifies what should happen if none of the conditions are met. This could be a fallback value or a specific action.
  
  
  
  Review Conditions:
  
  Ensure that all possible conditions are covered in your decision table or expression. If there are scenarios that are not accounted for, consider adding additional conditions or modifying existing ones.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the decision table or expression to ensure that it behaves as expected and that the error no longer occurs.
