• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_GDT_MAP_VAL_SOA021 - Element &1 can have only inclusion indicator. ?

  The SAP error message FVD_GDT_MAP_VAL_SOA021 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a specific element in the context of a mapping or data transformation process. The message states that the element identified by &1 can only have an inclusion indicator, which typically means that the system expects a certain type of value or configuration for that element.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The element in question may have been configured incorrectly, allowing for values that are not permitted. This could happen if the element is expected to only accept inclusion indicators (like "Yes" or "No") but is being assigned a different type of value.
  Data Mapping Issues: If you are working with data mapping or transformation, the source data might not align with the expected format or values for the target element.
  Business Rules Violation: The business rules defined in the system may dictate that only certain types of indicators are valid for that element, and the current value does not comply.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the element identified by &1. Ensure that it is set up to accept only inclusion indicators. This may involve checking the data type and allowed values for that element.
  Validate Input Data: If the error occurs during data processing, validate the input data to ensure that it conforms to the expected format. Make sure that only inclusion indicators are being passed to the element.
  Adjust Mapping Logic: If you are using a mapping tool or logic, ensure that the mapping correctly translates the source values to the expected inclusion indicators for the target element.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the element and its expected values. This can provide insights into what is allowed and how to correct the issue.
