  Incorrect or missing data in the payload sent to the proxy.
  Mapping errors in the XI/PI interface.
  Backend system (e.g., ERP or CRM) rejecting the creation request due to business logic or master data inconsistencies.
  Authorization or configuration issues in the proxy or backend system.
  Network or connectivity problems between the systems.
  
  
  
  Business Data Issues:
  
  The bonus buy creation might fail if:
  
  Required fields are missing or invalid.
  The promotion or product master data is not maintained properly.
  The bonus buy conditions violate business rules (e.g., invalid dates, quantities).
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Detailed Error Log:
