This error typically occurs when the system is trying to process a table or view, but all fields of that table or view have been excluded from processing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Exclusion: The error arises when the Table Splitter has determined that all fields of the specified table or view are excluded from the processing. This can happen if:
  
  The fields are not relevant for the batch input session.
  The fields have been explicitly marked for exclusion in the configuration.
  The table or view does not have any fields that are required for the operation being performed.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the batch input session or the way the Table Splitter is set up.
  
  
  Data Issues: If the data being processed does not meet the criteria for inclusion, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Exclusions: Review the configuration of the Table Splitter to ensure that the fields you need are not excluded. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction or configuration area where the Table Splitter is defined.
  Checking the settings for the specific table or view mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Modify Batch Input Session: If the batch input session is not supposed to exclude all fields, you may need to modify it to include the necessary fields.
  
  
  Review Data Mapping: Ensure that the data being passed to the batch input session is correctly mapped to the fields of the table or view. If there are any discrepancies, correct them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring the Table Splitter and handling batch input sessions.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the batch input session to identify where the exclusion is occurring. This may involve checking the code or logic that determines which fields are included or excluded.
