  The SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1721 indicates that there is an issue with a table parameter in a function module or method. Specifically, the error states that the table parameter does not have the correct structure. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when calling a function module or method that expects a specific table structure, but the provided table does not match that expected structure.
  Cause
  
  
  Mismatched Structure: The most common cause is that the structure of the table being passed does not match the expected structure defined in the function module or method. This could be due to:
  
  Missing fields.
  Extra fields that are not defined in the expected structure.
  Incorrect data types for the fields.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The data type of the fields in the table may not match the expected data types defined in the function module.
  
  
  Version Mismatch: If the function module or method has been updated or changed, and the calling program has not been updated accordingly, this can lead to structure mismatches.
  
  
  Custom Development: If the function module is a custom development, there may be issues with how the structure was defined or modified.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Function Module/Method Definition: 
  
  Go to the function module or method definition in SE37 (for function modules) or SE80 (for classes/methods).
  Review the expected table parameter structure and compare it with the structure of the table you are passing.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Table Structure: 
  
  Modify the structure of the table you are passing to match the expected structure. This may involve adding, removing, or changing fields.
  
  
  
  Data Type Verification: 
  
  Ensure that the data types of the fields in your table match those expected by the function module or method.
  
  
  
  Update Calling Program: 
  
  If the function module or method has been changed, ensure that the calling program is updated to reflect these changes.
  
  
  
  Debugging: 
  
  Use the debugger to step through the code and inspect the table being passed to identify discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
