• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING223 - Multiple mapping rows for complex elements not supported (element ID &1) ?

  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING223 indicates that there are multiple mapping rows for complex elements in your SAP system, which is not supported. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Orchestration (PO) or SAP Integration Suite when dealing with mappings in integration scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to map a complex element (like a structure or a composite data type) in a way that results in multiple mapping entries for the same element. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Mapping Entries: You may have defined multiple mapping rules for the same complex element in your mapping configuration.
  Incorrect Mapping Logic: The mapping logic may inadvertently lead to multiple outputs for a single input element.
  Complex Data Structures: If the data structure is complex and not properly defined, it can lead to confusion in the mapping process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Mapping Configuration:
  
  Check the mapping configuration for the specific element ID mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that there are no duplicate mapping entries for the same complex element.
  
  
  
  Consolidate Mapping Rules:
  
  If you find multiple mapping rules for the same element, consolidate them into a single rule that correctly represents the desired mapping.
  
  
  
  Check Data Types:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the source and target elements are compatible and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Test Mapping Logic:
  
  Test the mapping logic with sample data to ensure that it produces the expected results without generating multiple outputs for the same input.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidance on mapping complex elements in your version of SAP PO or Integration Suite.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools available in SAP to trace the mapping process and identify where the multiple entries are being generated.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Process Orchestration (PO): This is a suite of tools for integrating processes across different systems.
  Mapping in SAP PO: Involves defining how data from a source system is transformed and sent to a target system.
  Complex Elements: These are data structures that can contain multiple fields or sub-elements, making their mapping more complex than simple data types.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or consult with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific scenario.
