  The SAP error message /PF1/FH_CONV_XML_IMP141 Validated Rule &1: Field &2 is not allowed typically occurs during the import of XML data into an SAP system. This error indicates that a specific field (denoted by &2) is not permitted according to the validation rules defined for the XML structure being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Schema Validation: The XML data being imported does not conform to the expected schema. This could be due to the presence of fields that are not defined in the schema or are not allowed in the context of the data being processed.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between the XML fields and the SAP data structure may be incorrect, leading to the inclusion of fields that are not recognized or allowed.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a mismatch between the version of the XML schema being used and the version expected by the SAP system.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not allow certain fields to be processed, possibly due to business rules or data governance policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check XML Schema: Review the XML schema definition (XSD) to ensure that the fields being sent in the XML are valid and allowed. Remove or correct any fields that are not permitted.
  Validate XML Data: Use an XML validation tool to check the XML data against the schema. This can help identify any discrepancies or invalid fields.
  Review Mapping Configuration: Ensure that the mapping between the XML fields and the SAP data structure is correctly configured. Adjust the mapping as necessary to align with the expected structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the specific module documentation to understand the allowed fields and their contexts.
  Update Configuration: If certain fields need to be allowed, you may need to update the configuration settings in the SAP system to permit those fields, if applicable.
  Test with Sample Data: Create a simplified version of the XML data that only includes the allowed fields and test the import process to isolate the issue.
