• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_SERVICE085 - Object &1 is not assigned to a parent function or ruleset ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_SERVICE085 indicates that a specific object (like a function or ruleset) is not properly assigned to a parent function or ruleset in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transformation (FDT) framework. This can occur in scenarios where data transformation or mapping is being configured.
  Cause:
  
  Misconfiguration: The object you are trying to use (e.g., a function or ruleset) has not been linked to a parent function or ruleset. This can happen if the object was created but not properly assigned.
  Deletion or Inactivation: The parent function or ruleset may have been deleted or deactivated, leading to orphaned objects.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, it might not have been included in the transport request correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Versioning Issues: There may be versioning issues where the object exists in a different version than expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Assignment: Go to the FDT workbench and verify that the object in question is correctly assigned to a parent function or ruleset. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration and checking the hierarchy.
  Reassign the Object: If the object is not assigned, you can manually assign it to the appropriate parent function or ruleset.
  Review Deletions: Ensure that the parent function or ruleset has not been deleted or deactivated. If it has, you may need to recreate or reactivate it.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly transported.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the FDT framework, as updates may resolve bugs or issues related to object assignments.
