• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/BRFPLUS020 - The data object transferred to BRF+ is not a structure ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/BRFPLUS020 indicates that there is an issue with the data object being passed to the BRF+ (Business Rule Framework plus) application. Specifically, the error states that the data object transferred to BRF+ is not a structure, which means that the expected data format is not being met.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The data object being passed to BRF+ is expected to be a structure (a defined set of fields), but it is being passed as a different type (e.g., a simple data type like a string or number).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the BRF+ rule or decision table that is expecting a structured input.
  Mapping Errors: If the data is being mapped from another source, there may be an error in how the data is being transformed or structured before it reaches BRF+.
  Version Compatibility: There could be compatibility issues if the BRF+ version does not support the data types being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Object Type: Ensure that the data object being passed to BRF+ is indeed a structure. You can do this by reviewing the data definitions in the relevant ABAP code or configuration.
  Review BRF+ Configuration: Go through the BRF+ rules, decision tables, and any associated configurations to ensure that they are set up to accept the correct data structure.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the data flow and see where the data object is being created and passed to BRF+. This can help identify where the type mismatch occurs.
  Adjust Mapping: If the data is being transformed or mapped from another source, ensure that the mapping logic correctly converts the data into the expected structure.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation for BRF+ to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for data object definitions and usage.
