• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF180 - Transient nodes must not be set as separately loadable ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF180 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of transient nodes in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF). Specifically, it states that transient nodes should not be set as separately loadable. 
  Cause:
  In BOPF, transient nodes are used to hold temporary data that does not need to be persisted in the database. These nodes are typically used for calculations or to hold intermediate results. The error occurs when a transient node is incorrectly configured to be separately loadable, which is not allowed because transient nodes are not meant to be loaded independently from the main business object.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the transient nodes in your BOPF business object. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Access the BOPF Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOPF configuration transaction (e.g., BOPF or SE80 for the relevant business object).
  
  
  
  Identify the Transient Node:
  
  Locate the transient node that is causing the error. This can usually be found in the structure of the business object.
  
  
  
  Check Node Properties:
  
  Open the properties of the transient node and look for the setting that indicates whether it is "Separately Loadable."
  
  
  
  Change the Configuration:
  
  If the transient node is marked as separately loadable, change this setting to ensure that it is not separately loadable. This typically involves unchecking a checkbox or changing a property in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save and activate the business object configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Test the business object to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the functionality works as expected.
