  The SAP error message LTR2_DS_CHG_IOBT005 typically indicates that there has been a change in the method of an IOBT (Inventory Object) in the context of a DataStore Object (DSO) or InfoObject. This error can occur during data loading or transformation processes when the system detects that the method used to handle the data has been altered, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues in data processing.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Data Model: The underlying data model for the DSO or InfoObject has been modified. This could include changes to the structure, data types, or methods used for data processing.

  Revert Changes: If the changes are not necessary or were made in error, consider reverting to the previous version of the method or data model.
  Update Data Flow: Ensure that any data flows or transformations that rely on the IOBT are updated to reflect the new method. This may involve modifying the data transformation logic or mappings.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the DSO or InfoObject to ensure that all components are aligned and that there are no discrepancies.
