• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOT_B2A211 - Only insert values '0' (non-triangular deal) or '1' (triangular deal) ?

  The SAP error message FOT_B2A211 indicates that there is an issue with the input values related to the type of deal being processed in the system. Specifically, the error message states that only the values '0' (for non-triangular deals) or '1' (for triangular deals) are acceptable.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  An incorrect value is being passed to a field that expects a specific type of deal indicator.
  The system is configured to only accept binary values (0 or 1) for distinguishing between non-triangular and triangular deals.
  There may be a data entry error or a programming issue where an invalid value is being sent to the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the value being entered or processed is either '0' or '1'. If you are using a program or interface to input data, verify that it is correctly mapping the deal type to the expected values.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are working with custom developments or interfaces, review the configuration or code to ensure that it adheres to the expected input values. 
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks before the data is sent to the SAP system to ensure that only valid values are being processed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working with to understand the context of the deal types and their implications.
  
  
  Testing: If changes are made, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error does not recur and that the system behaves as expected.
