• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAI_MAPPING114 - Parsing error after mapping ?

  The SAP error message SAI_MAPPING114 indicates a parsing error that occurs after a mapping operation in the SAP system, particularly in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO). This error typically arises during the transformation of data from one format to another, often when using mappings in integration scenarios.
  Causes of SAI_MAPPING114
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping Logic: The mapping logic defined in the graphical mapping or XSLT might have errors or inconsistencies that prevent successful parsing.
  
  
  Data Format Issues: The input data may not conform to the expected format or structure, leading to parsing errors during the transformation process.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrectly Defined Fields: If the source or target structure has missing fields or if the fields are incorrectly defined, it can lead to parsing issues.
  
  
  Invalid XML Structure: If the data being processed is in XML format, any invalid XML structure (such as unclosed tags or incorrect nesting) can cause parsing errors.
  
  
  Version Compatibility: Sometimes, the mapping might be incompatible with the version of the software or the libraries being used.
  
  
  Solutions to SAI_MAPPING114
  
  
  Review Mapping Logic: Check the mapping logic for any errors. Ensure that all expressions and functions used in the mapping are correct and that they align with the expected input and output structures.

  Check Field Definitions: Verify that all required fields in both the source and target structures are correctly defined and populated. Ensure that there are no discrepancies in field names or types.
  
  
  XML Validation: If the data is in XML format, validate the XML against its schema (XSD) to ensure it is well-formed and valid.
  
  
  Debugging: Use the debugging tools available in SAP PI/PO to trace the mapping process. This can help identify the exact point of failure and provide more context for the error.
  
  
  Check Logs: Review the logs in the SAP system for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what went wrong during the mapping process.
