• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS454 - BRFplus Object mapped to the instance ID must be of type text ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS454 indicates that there is an issue with the BRFplus (Business Rule Framework plus) object that is mapped to a specific instance ID.

This typically occurs when the expected data type for a certain field or parameter does not match the actual data type being provided.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the BRFplus expression or rule is expecting a text type input, but it is receiving a different data type (e.g., number, date, etc.).
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of the BRFplus object to the instance ID may not be set up correctly, leading to the wrong data type being referenced.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the BRFplus application where the expected data types are not properly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the BRFplus rule or expression to ensure that the data types of the inputs and outputs are correctly defined. Make sure that any parameters or variables being passed to the BRFplus object are of type text.
  Review Mapping: Verify the mapping of the BRFplus object to the instance ID. Ensure that the correct object is being referenced and that it is of the expected type.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration of the BRFplus application to ensure that the expected data types are correctly set up.
  Testing: After making changes, test the BRFplus rule or expression to ensure that it now processes correctly without throwing the error.
