  Key Concepts: 
  A fault is an error that occurs in the SAP Enterprise Service Infrastructure (BC-ESI). It is a type of exception that is generated when a service call fails. Faults are used to indicate that an error has occurred and can be used to provide more information about the cause of the error. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When a fault occurs, it is important to identify the cause of the fault and take corrective action. The fault can be identified by examining the fault message, which contains information about the service call that failed and the reason for the failure. Once the cause of the fault has been identified, corrective action can be taken to resolve the issue. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When troubleshooting faults, it is important to remember that faults can be caused by a variety of factors, including incorrect configuration settings, incorrect data, or incorrect service calls. It is also important to remember that faults can be caused by external factors such as network issues or server issues.
