  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF173 typically relates to issues in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) where a proxy attribute is either not mapped correctly or is not set to a final disable state. This error can occur during various operations, such as when trying to save or process data in a BOPF-based application.
  Cause:
  
  
  Attribute Mapping Issue: The proxy attribute specified in the error message is not correctly mapped to the corresponding data model or entity. This can happen if the attribute is missing in the configuration or if there are discrepancies in the data model.
  
  
  Final Disable State: The attribute may not be set to a final disable state, which means that it is still active and may be causing conflicts during processing.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues in the BOPF configuration, such as missing or incorrect settings in the BOPF configuration for the business object.
  
  
  Solution:

  Review BOPF Configuration:
  
  Check the overall configuration of the BOPF object to ensure that all settings are correct.
