• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_MODEL_API037 - Filter Binding Node must be identical to Association Target Node (&1) ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_MODEL_API037 indicates that there is a mismatch between the filter binding node and the association target 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 expected association target node. 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 filter configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Business Object might have been altered, leading to inconsistencies between the filter and the associated nodes.
  Data Model Changes: If the underlying data model has been modified (e.g., nodes or associations added/removed), it can lead to this error if the filter is not updated
