  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS715 indicates that there is an issue with the change mode set to "insert" in the context of a data table. This error typically arises when you are trying to use the "insert" mode in a context that does not support it, such as when working with a non-table structure or when the target object is not a table.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Context: The "insert" change mode is only applicable to tables. If you are trying to insert data into a structure or a non-table object, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way the expressions are defined in the context of the data flow.
  Data Type Mismatch: The target field or structure may not be compatible with the data type you are trying to insert.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Context: Ensure that you are working with a table structure when using the "insert" mode. If you are trying to insert data into a non-table structure, consider using a different change mode, such as "update" or "modify."
  Review Data Model: Go through the data model and ensure that the expressions and data flows are correctly defined. Make sure that the target object is indeed a table.
  Adjust Change Mode: If you are not working with a table, change the mode from "insert" to a more appropriate mode that fits the context of your operation.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the error is being triggered. This can help you pinpoint the exact cause.
