• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/STRUCT_CHG_MGMT132 - Standard type &1 is used for key field &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/STRUCT_CHG_MGMT132 indicates that a standard type (data type) is being used for a key field in a structure, which is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of data modeling or when working with structures in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A standard data type (like CHAR, NUMC, etc.) is incorrectly used as a key field in a structure.
  The structure is expected to have a specific data type for its key fields, and using a standard type violates this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Structure Definition:
  
  Go to the structure definition in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Identify the key fields and their data types.
  
  
  
  Change the Data Type:
  
  If a standard type is being used for a key field, consider changing it to a more appropriate type that is allowed for key fields. This could be a custom data type or a reference type that meets the requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Ensure that the data model aligns with the business requirements and that the key fields are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines regarding the use of key fields in structures to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
