  If there are none, you will need to add the appropriate Customizing object/type.
  
  
  
  Validate the Mapping:
  
  After making changes, validate the mapping to ensure that it meets the requirements and does not produce any errors.
  
  
  
  Test the Integration:
  
  Once the mapping is corrected, test the integration or process that was causing the error to ensure that it now works as expected.
