  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the application to see where the interaction mode is being set and why it is causing a conflict.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for BOPF and the specific business object you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or restrictions regarding interaction modes and configuration generator modes.
