  The SAP error message /UI2/CDMFCC346 Target &1 &2 for action SET_REF needs to be an original typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications or when working with the SAP UI5 framework. This error indicates that the action you are trying to perform requires a reference to an original object, but the target you provided is not recognized as an original.
  Cause:
  
  Non-original Object: The target object you are trying to reference is not an original instance. This can happen if you are trying to set a reference to a modified or derived object instead of the original.
  Incorrect Data Binding: The data binding in your application might be pointing to a non-original entity or an incorrect context.
  State Management Issues: The application might be in a state where it cannot perform the action due to the current context or state of the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object State: Ensure that the object you are trying to reference is indeed an original object. You may need to retrieve the original object from the database or the data model.
  Review Data Binding: Verify the data binding in your application. Make sure that the binding points to the correct original entity and that the context is set properly.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution flow and identify where the reference is being set incorrectly. Look for any modifications to the object that might have changed its state.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific Fiori application or UI5 component you are working with to understand the expected behavior and requirements for the action you are trying to perform.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to gracefully manage situations where the target object is not an original.
