This error occurs when the system attempts to map two components that are not compatible in terms of their data types.
  Cause:
  The error message "Incompatible types &1 and &2 when mapping component &3 to &4" suggests that:
  
  &1 and &2 represent the incompatible data types of the components being mapped.

  Use Conversion Functions: If necessary, use conversion functions to convert one data type to another before mapping. For example, if you need to convert a string to an integer, use appropriate conversion functions.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help resources for any specific guidelines related to the components you are working with.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the mapping again to ensure that the error is resolved.
