The SAP error message
/AIF/GENERATORS019
indicates that there is a conflict between two structures in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF). Specifically, it means that the system has determined that one structure (denoted as &1) will be used and updated instead of another structure (denoted as &2). This typically occurs during the processing of messages or data interfaces where the system encounters a situation where two structures are defined, but only one can be utilized.Cause:
- Duplicate Structures: There may be two structures defined in the AIF configuration that are similar or have overlapping definitions, leading to ambiguity about which structure should be used.
- Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in AIF may not be correctly set up, causing the system to default to one structure over another.
- Data Mapping Problems: If the data being processed does not match the expected structure, the system may revert to a different structure that it deems more appropriate.
- Versioning Conflicts: If there are different versions of structures in use, the system may choose one over the other based on its internal logic.
Solution:
- Review Structure Definitions: Check the definitions of both structures (&1 and &2) in the AIF configuration. Ensure that they are not duplicates or conflicting.
- Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the AIF configuration to ensure that the correct structure is being referenced and used for the intended data processing.
- Data Mapping: Verify the data mapping settings to ensure that the incoming data aligns with the expected structure. Make adjustments as needed to ensure compatibility.
- Check for Updates: If you are using a newer version of SAP, check for any updates or patches that may address this issue.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to AIF and the specific error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
- Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the correct structure is being used and that the error does not reoccur.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
