• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF086 - Business Object &1 is already assigned to the proxy business object &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF086 indicates that a business object (BO) is already assigned to a proxy business object, which means that there is an attempt to assign the same business object to multiple proxy business objects, which is not allowed in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF).
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The primary cause of this error is that the same business object is being assigned to more than one proxy business object. This can happen if there is an attempt to configure or modify the business object assignments in the BOPF configuration.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the BOPF settings where the same business object is inadvertently linked to multiple proxies.
  Development Error: If custom development is involved, there might be a coding error where the same business object is being referenced incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Assignments: Review the BOPF configuration to ensure that each business object is only assigned to one proxy business object. You can do this by navigating to the BOPF configuration in the SAP system and checking the assignments.
  Remove Duplicate Assignments: If you find that a business object is assigned to multiple proxies, remove the duplicate assignment. Ensure that each business object is uniquely assigned to its respective proxy.
  Review Custom Code: If there is custom development involved, review the code to ensure that it is not attempting to assign the same business object to multiple proxies. Make necessary adjustments to the code.
  Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport request, check if the transport included changes that might have caused the duplicate assignment. You may need to revert or adjust the transport.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BOPF and business object assignments for any specific guidelines or best practices.
