This error typically arises in the context of using function modules or methods that expect certain data types, but the provided types do not meet the requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Type Group Usage: The error often occurs when you are trying to use a type that is defined in a type group (using TYPE-POOL) in a context where only standard data types or structures are allowed.
  Incompatible Data Types: The function module or method you are calling may not support the specific type you are passing, especially if it is a complex type or a type defined in a type group.
  Incorrect Data Declaration: If you have declared a variable using a type from a type group and are trying to pass it to a function that does not accept such types, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types you are using in your program. Ensure that you are using standard data types or structures that are compatible with the function module or method you are calling.
  Use Standard Types: If you are using a type from a type group, consider defining a new structure or using a standard type that is compatible with the function you are trying to call.
  Modify Function Calls: If possible, modify the function module or method to accept the type you are trying to use, or create a wrapper function that converts your type to a compatible one.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the function module or method to understand the expected data types and ensure you are passing the correct types.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Type Groups: In SAP ABAP, type groups are collections of types that can be used across different programs. They are defined using the TYPE-POOL statement.
  Function Modules: These are reusable pieces of code that can be called from various programs. They have specific input and output parameters that must match the expected data types.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through your code and identify where the incompatible type is being passed. This can help you pinpoint the exact location of the error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FPUIFB073 error and ensure that your program runs smoothly.
