• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF276 - Subtree properties are enabled but buffer dispatcher &1 is not maintained ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF276 indicates that subtree properties are enabled in a Business Object Framework (BOF) configuration, but the buffer dispatcher for the specified business object is not maintained. This typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when working with business objects that have subtree properties defined.
  Cause:
  
  Subtree Properties Enabled: The business object has subtree properties enabled, which means it is expected to handle hierarchical data structures.
  Missing Buffer Dispatcher: The buffer dispatcher for the business object is not configured or maintained. The buffer dispatcher is responsible for managing the data retrieval and caching for the business object, especially when dealing with subtree properties.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the buffer dispatcher for the relevant business object. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the BOPF Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code BOBF in the SAP GUI.
  Enter the name of the business object that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Check Subtree Properties:
  
  In the configuration of the business object, check the subtree properties to confirm they are enabled.
  
  
  
  Maintain Buffer Dispatcher:
  
  Navigate to the "Buffer Dispatcher" section of the business object configuration.
  Ensure that the buffer dispatcher is properly defined and maintained. You may need to create or adjust the dispatcher settings to ensure it aligns with the subtree properties.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save and activate the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After maintaining the buffer dispatcher, test the business object to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
