• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF353 - Version not marked as extendible but inherited extendible nodes exist ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF353 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to Business Object Framework (BOF) in SAP. Specifically, it means that the version of the business object you are working with is not marked as extendible, but there are nodes within that object that are inherited from a parent object that are extendible. This can create a conflict because the system expects the version to allow extensions if it contains extendible nodes.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Extendible Version: The version of the business object is configured as non-extendible.
  Inherited Extendible Nodes: There are nodes in the business object that are inherited from a parent object, and those nodes are marked as extendible.
  Configuration Mismatch: The configuration of the business object does not align with the properties of its nodes, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Business Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the Business Object Configuration in the SAP system.
  Verify the settings of the version you are working with. Ensure that it is marked as extendible if it contains extendible nodes.
  
  
  
  Modify Version Settings:
  
  If the version is not intended to be extendible, you may need to review the design and remove or adjust the extendible nodes.
  If the version should be extendible, change the configuration to mark it as extendible.
  
  
  
  Review Inherited Nodes:
  
  Check the parent business object from which the nodes are inherited. Ensure that the inheritance is correctly set up and that the properties of the nodes are appropriate for your use case.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., quality assurance, production) as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the business object to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the functionality works as expected.
