  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF181 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 must not be set as separately lockable. 
  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 intermediate results. The error occurs when a transient node is incorrectly configured to be separately lockable, which is not allowed because transient data does not have a persistent state that can be locked.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the transient node in your BOPF model. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Access the BOPF Model: Go to the BOPF modeling environment in your SAP system (transaction code BOPF or through the relevant development tools).
  
  
  Identify the Transient Node: Locate the transient node that is causing the error. You can usually find this in the node definitions of your BOPF business object.
  
  
  Check Node Properties: Open the properties of the transient node and look for the setting related to "Separately Lockable". 
  
  
  Modify the Configuration: Ensure that the "Separately Lockable" option is not checked for the transient node. This setting should be disabled for any transient nodes.
  
  
  Save and Activate: After making the necessary changes, save your configuration and activate the BOPF model.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, test the functionality that was previously causing the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
