  The SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT194 BO &1, query &2: Mapping the fields of authorization object &3 failed typically relates to issues with the mapping of fields in an authorization object within the context of SAP Identity Management (IdM) or Access Control.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Mapping Issues: The error indicates that there is a problem with how fields are mapped in the authorization object. This could be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect field definitions in the authorization object.
  Inconsistencies between the fields defined in the authorization object and those expected by the query.
  Changes in the structure of the authorization object that have not been reflected in the mapping configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration errors in the IdM or Access Control setup that prevent proper mapping.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: If the data in the system does not match the expected format or values for the authorization object, it can lead to mapping failures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization Object Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the authorization object (&3) in the SAP system. Ensure that all fields are correctly defined and that their data types match the expected values.
  
  
  
  Verify Field Mapping:
  
  Go to the mapping configuration in the IdM or Access Control system and verify that the fields are correctly mapped. Ensure that the fields in the query (&2) correspond to the fields in the authorization object.
  
  
  
  Update or Correct Mappings:
  
  If you find discrepancies in the mappings, update them to ensure they align with the current structure of the authorization object.
  
  
  
  Check for System Updates:
  
  If there have been recent updates or changes to the SAP system, ensure that all related configurations and mappings have been updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific authorization object and the IdM or Access Control module for any known issues or additional configuration steps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the query again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation may be needed.
