• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIW375 - Error in Field &1 (IDT &2): Specified CDT &3 differs from GDT's CDT &4 ?

  The SAP error message SIW375 indicates a mismatch between the specified Common Data Type (CDT) and the Global Data Type (GDT) in the context of the Information Design Tool (IDT). This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the data types defined in your data source and those expected in your IDT project.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The CDT specified in your IDT does not match the GDT's CDT. This can happen if the data source has been modified (e.g., a column's data type has changed) and the IDT has not been updated accordingly.
  Incorrect Mapping: If you are using a derived table or a complex query, the mapping of fields may not align with the expected data types.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the data source or IDT, inconsistencies may arise if one is updated without the other.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types in your data source (e.g., database schema) and ensure they match the definitions in your IDT. You may need to refresh the metadata in the IDT to reflect any changes.
  Update IDT: If the data source has changed, update the IDT to reflect the new data types. This can be done by refreshing the connection or re-importing the data source.
  Recreate Objects: If the issue persists, consider recreating the affected objects (e.g., tables, joins) in the IDT to ensure they are correctly defined.
  Check Derived Tables: If you are using derived tables, ensure that the data types of the fields in the derived table match those in the original data source.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or community forums for any specific guidance related to your version of the IDT and the data source you are using.
