• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC077 - Scope substructure is selected, but node isn't ROOT ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC077 Scope substructure is selected, but node isn't ROOT typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when there is an issue with the configuration of the BOPF business object. This error indicates that a substructure has been selected in the scope definition, but the node that is being referenced is not the root node of the business object.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Scope Definition: The error usually arises when the scope of a BOPF node is defined incorrectly. If a substructure is selected, it should be associated with the root node of the business object.
  Hierarchy Misconfiguration: The node being referenced may not be the root node, which is required for certain operations or configurations in BOPF.
  Modeling Errors: There may be errors in the modeling of the BOPF object, such as incorrect relationships or node definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Scope Configuration: Review the scope configuration in the BOPF model. Ensure that if a substructure is selected, it is correctly associated with the root node.
  Adjust Node Relationships: Verify the relationships between nodes in the BOPF model. Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that the node in question is indeed a child of the root node.
  Review BOPF Model: Open the BOPF model in the BOPF editor and check the definitions of the nodes and their scopes. Make necessary adjustments to ensure that the substructure is correctly defined.
  Testing: After making changes, test the BOPF object to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
