  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG211 Xcelsius field &1; check mapping typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius (now known as SAP Dashboards) when there is an issue with the mapping of fields between the data source and the dashboard components. This error indicates that there is a problem with how the data fields are configured or mapped in the Xcelsius dashboard.
  Cause:
  
  Field Mapping Issues: The specified field (&1) in the error message is not correctly mapped to the corresponding data source field. This could be due to a typo, a missing field, or a mismatch in data types.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying data source has changed (e.g., fields were added, removed, or renamed), the mappings in the Xcelsius dashboard may no longer be valid.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in Xcelsius may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in how data is being pulled and displayed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Mapping:
  
  Open the Xcelsius dashboard and navigate to the component that is generating the error.
  Verify that the field specified in the error message (&1) is correctly mapped to the corresponding data source field.
  Ensure that the field names match exactly, including case sensitivity.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source:
  
  If there have been changes to the data source, update the Xcelsius dashboard to reflect these changes.
  Re-establish the connection to the data source if necessary.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:
  
  Ensure that the data types of the fields in the data source match the expected data types in Xcelsius. For example, if a field is expected to be numeric, ensure it is not being treated as a string.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Components:
  
  If the issue persists, consider removing and re-adding the affected component to reset its configuration.
  Check for any additional settings or properties that may need to be adjusted.
