  The SAP error message GA414 "Use one data field type only for data control (T811H)" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with data control settings in the system. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the data field types being used in a specific data control configuration, which is not allowed.
