  Test with Minimal Conditions: If you are still facing issues, try simplifying your join conditions to the minimum required fields and gradually add more fields to identify which specific field is causing the error.
  
  
  Consult with Colleagues or SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to colleagues who have experience with the specific module or contact SAP support for assistance.
