• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF366 - Auth. class &1 does not inherit from /BOBF/CL_[FRW|LIB]_AUTHORITY_CHECK ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF366 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization class defined in the Business Object Framework (BOBF) configuration. Specifically, it states that the authorization class you are trying to use does not inherit from the required base class /BOBF/CL_[FRW|LIB]_AUTHORITY_CHECK. This is a common issue when setting up or modifying BOBF business objects and their associated authorization checks.
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Authorization Class: The authorization class specified in the BOBF configuration does not extend from the required base class. This means that the class does not implement the necessary methods for authorization checks.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the BOBF settings where the wrong class is assigned or the class is not properly defined.
  Custom Development: If a custom authorization class was created, it may not have been implemented correctly to inherit from the required base class.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Authorization Class:
  
  Go to the BOBF configuration for the relevant business object.
  Verify the authorization class specified in the configuration.
  Ensure that the class inherits from either /BOBF/CL_FRW_AUTHORITY_CHECK or /BOBF/CL_LIB_AUTHORITY_CHECK.
  
  
  
  Modify the Authorization Class:
  
  If the class does not inherit from the required base class, you will need to modify it.
  Open the class in the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE24) and ensure it extends from the correct base class.
  Implement the necessary methods for authorization checks as required by your business logic.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure BOBF:
  
  After making changes to the authorization class, return to the BOBF configuration and ensure that the correct class is assigned.
  Activate the changes in the BOBF configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the business object to ensure that the authorization checks are functioning as expected and that the error no longer occurs.
