  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B050 Mapping has changed in the database; mapping data not up-to-date typically indicates that there is a discrepancy between the mapping data in the database and the mapping data that the system is currently using. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with data transformations, mappings, or interfaces in SAP systems.
