- Inactive Field Configuration: The error suggests that the import parameter for the number of fields is set to inactive. This could mean that the fields you are trying to access or manipulate are not properly configured or activated in the system.
- Incorrect Function Module Call: The function module or method being called may not be receiving the correct parameters, leading to the system not recognizing the specified fields.
- Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or field definitions, it could lead to inconsistencies that trigger this error.

- Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the function module to see what values are being passed and where the error occurs.
- Check for Recent Changes: If the error started occurring after a recent change, review the change logs to identify any modifications that might have affected the field configurations.
- Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the fields in question. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user roles and authorizations.

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.
