• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/BAL_BO007 - Both Exception reference and T100 message reference cannot be specified ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/BAL_BO007 indicates that both an exception reference and a T100 message reference have been specified in a context where only one of them is allowed. This typically occurs in the context of Business Object Framework (BOF) or when handling business object messages in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Message Types: The error arises when a program or function module attempts to log or display a message using both an exception reference (which is typically used for handling exceptions) and a T100 message reference (which is used for standard SAP messages). The system does not allow both to be specified simultaneously.
  Incorrect Implementation: This can happen if the developer has incorrectly implemented the message handling logic, inadvertently passing both types of message references.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Code: Check the code where the message is being generated. Ensure that you are only using one of the two message types. If you are using an exception reference, do not specify a T100 message reference, and vice versa.
  Modify Logic: If both types of messages are needed, you may need to refactor the logic to handle them separately. For example, you could log an exception and then handle the T100 message in a different part of the code.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function module or class you are using to understand the expected parameters and their usage.
  Debugging: Use the debugger to trace the execution flow and identify where both message types are being set. This can help pinpoint the exact location of the issue.
