    The SAP error message B1808 indicates that there is an issue with a filter object being used in a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) call. Specifically, the message states that the filter object specified is not valid for the BAPI being called. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Filter Object: The filter object specified in the BAPI call does not exist or is not valid for the particular BAPI being used. This could be due to a typo, incorrect configuration, or using a filter object that is not applicable to the BAPI.
    2. BAPI Restrictions: Some BAPIs have specific requirements or restrictions regarding the filter objects that can be used. If the filter object does not meet these requirements, the error will occur.
    3. Version Mismatch: If there are different versions of the BAPI or if the BAPI has been modified, the filter object may no longer be valid.

    Solution:

    1. Check Filter Object: Verify that the filter object (&1) you are using is correct and exists in the system. Ensure there are no typos or incorrect references.
    2. Review BAPI Documentation: Consult the documentation for the specific BAPI (&2, &3) to understand the valid filter objects that can be used. This will help you identify if the filter object you are trying to use is supported.
    3. Use Valid Filter Objects: If the filter object is indeed invalid, replace it with a valid one as per the BAPI documentation.
    4. Test with Different Parameters: If you are unsure about the filter object, try calling the BAPI without any filters or with different parameters to see if the error persists.
    5. Check for Updates: If the BAPI has been recently updated or modified, check for any changes in the filter object requirements.
    6. Consult SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a production issue.
