    SAP Error Message:
    W8075 - Source and target structures have different numbers of fields (&, &)
    
    
    Cause: This warning occurs during data transfer or mapping processes (such as in LSMW, Data Transfer Workbench, or BAPI calls) when the source structure and the target structure involved in the data transfer have a different number of fields. Essentially, the system detects a mismatch in the number of fields between the two structures, which can lead to incomplete or incorrect data mapping. The first placeholder (&) shows the number of fields in the source structure. The second placeholder (&) shows the number of fields in the target structure. This mismatch can happen due to: Changes in the structure definitions (e.g., custom fields added or removed). Using incorrect or outdated structures in the mapping. Incorrect assignment or mapping in the data transfer object. Different versions of structures between source and target systems.
