This error indicates that the system requires at least two source fields to be assigned in the mapping process before proceeding with the data migration.

    Cause:

    To resolve this error, follow these steps:

    1. Open the LSMW Project: Navigate to the LSMW transaction in SAP.
    2. Check Field Mapping:

      • Make sure that the source fields are correctly mapped to the target fields as per your data migration requirements.
    4. Save Changes: After making the necessary assignments, save your changes.
    5. Re-run the Process: Try to execute the data migration process again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:
