• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_MODEL_API036 - Filter Binding Node must be identical to Association Source Node (&1) ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_MODEL_API036 indicates that there is a mismatch between the filter binding node and the association source node in a Business Object Framework (BOF) configuration. This typically occurs when you are trying to filter data in a way that does not align with the defined associations in the Business Object Model.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Node Definitions: The filter binding node you are trying to use does not match the source node defined in the association. This can happen if the filter is set up incorrectly or if there are changes in the data model that have not been reflected in the configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Business Object might have been altered, leading to inconsistencies between the filter and the source node.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (like adding or removing associations), the existing filters may no longer be valid.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the Business Object in the Business Object Framework. Ensure that the filter binding node is correctly defined and matches the source node in the association.
  Update Filters: If the data model has changed, update the filters to align with the new structure. This may involve modifying the filter conditions or re-establishing the associations.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the Business Object to identify any discrepancies between the nodes and associations.
  Recreate the Filter: If necessary, delete the existing filter and recreate it to ensure that it is correctly bound to the appropriate source node.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring filters and associations in the Business Object Framework.
