• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS020 - Result data object &1 for &2 not allowed in row &3; only Boolean allowed ?

  The SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS020 indicates that there is an issue with the data type of a result data object in a Business Rule Framework (BRF+) application. Specifically, the error states that the result data object for a certain rule or decision table is not allowed in the specified row because only Boolean values are permitted.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A decision table or rule is configured to expect a Boolean result (true/false), but the result data object defined in that row is of a different data type (e.g., string, integer, etc.).
  There may be a mismatch between the expected output type of the rule and the actual data object being used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Decision Table/Rule Configuration:
  
  Open the BRF+ application where the error is occurring.
  Review the decision table or rule that is generating the error.
  Ensure that the result data object defined in the row is of the Boolean type.
  
  
  
  Modify the Result Data Object:
  
  If the result data object is not Boolean, you will need to either change it to a Boolean type or adjust the logic of your rule to accommodate the correct data type.
  If you need to return a non-Boolean value, consider creating a new rule or decision table that is designed to handle that specific data type.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:
  
  Ensure that all data objects used in the decision table or rule are correctly defined and that their data types match the expected output.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the rule or decision table to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the logic behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BRF+ Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for BRF+ to understand how to define data types and configure decision tables/rules properly.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for additional insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  Debugging Tools: Utilize debugging tools within SAP to trace the execution of the rules and identify where the data type mismatch occurs.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ICL_BRF_PLUS020 error and ensure that your BRF+ rules function correctly.
