This error indicates that the system could not find any suitable source fields in the specified source structure for the data migration process.

  Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the migration with a smaller sample data file to isolate the issue and confirm that the mapping works as expected.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the source fields and perform the migration.
