This message typically arises when you are trying to use a BO that has not been migrated to use Smart Validations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the Business Object in question has not been updated to leverage the Smart Validations framework. This can happen if:
  
  The BO was created before Smart Validations were introduced.
  The BO has not been properly configured or migrated to use the new validation framework.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to migrate the Business Object to use Smart Validations. This can be done using a specific report provided by SAP. The error message itself usually indicates the report that should be used for migration, which is typically in the format of &2.

  Check the Migration Results: After running the report, check the logs or output to ensure that the migration was successful. You may need to review any warnings or errors that may have occurred during the migration process.
