• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSL_ERROR_CONFLICT106 - ESR element &1 is table-like, internal element &2 is not ?

  The SAP error message FSL_ERROR_CONFLICT106 indicates a conflict between two elements in your data structure. Specifically, it states that one element (the ESR element) is table-like (i.e., it can hold multiple entries, like a table or an array), while the internal element is not table-like (i.e., it is a single value).
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in scenarios where there is an inconsistency in the data structure definitions. For example, you might be trying to map or assign a table-like structure to a non-table-like structure, which is not allowed. This can happen in various contexts, such as:
  
  When defining data mappings in an Integration Scenario.
  When working with data models in SAP Process Orchestration (PO) or SAP Integration Suite.
  When there is a mismatch in the expected data types between the source and target elements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Structure Definitions: Review the definitions of the ESR element and the internal element. Ensure that they are compatible. If the ESR element is defined as a table-like structure, the internal element should also be defined as a table-like structure.
  
  
  Adjust Mapping: If you are performing a mapping operation, ensure that you are not trying to map a table-like structure to a single value. You may need to adjust your mapping logic to handle the data correctly.
  
  
  Modify Data Types: If necessary, modify the data types of the elements involved. If the internal element should be able to handle multiple entries, change its definition to be table-like.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with. There may be additional guidelines or best practices for handling data structures.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Integration Suite: If you are using SAP Integration Suite, familiarize yourself with the data mapping and transformation capabilities.
  SAP Process Orchestration: Understanding the concepts of ESR (Enterprise Services Repository) and how it interacts with the Integration Directory can be beneficial.
  Data Types in SAP: Review the different data types available in SAP and how they are used in mappings and data structures.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a colleague who has experience with the specific integration scenario you are working on.
