• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR357 - Domain & does not have type & or & ?

  The SAP error message NR357 typically indicates that there is an issue with the domain definition in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) for a particular field in a table or structure. The message reads: "Domain & does not have type & or &," which means that the specified domain does not have a valid data type associated with it.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Domain Definition: The domain specified in the error message may not exist in the Data Dictionary.
  Incorrect Domain Assignment: The field in the table or structure may be incorrectly assigned to a domain that does not have a valid data type.
  Transport Issues: If the domain was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to inconsistencies.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Domain Definition:
