  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF104 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the primary key for a database table in the Business Object Framework (BOBF). This error typically arises when the primary key of a database table is not set up correctly, which can lead to issues with data retrieval and integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The primary key for the database table may not be defined correctly in the BOBF configuration. This could be due to missing fields, incorrect field types, or a mismatch between the defined key and the actual database structure.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the underlying database structure, the BOBF configuration may not have been updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that led to an incorrect configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOBF Configuration: 
  
  Go to the BOBF configuration transaction (e.g., BOBF or SBOBF) and review the configuration for the affected business object.
  Ensure that the primary key fields are correctly defined and match the underlying database table structure.

  Adjust Key Fields:
  
  If discrepancies are found, adjust the key fields in the BOBF configuration to match the database table.
  Ensure that all necessary fields are included in the primary key definition.
  
  
  
  Transport Adjustments:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings.
  Re-transport the configuration if necessary, ensuring that all dependencies are included.
