  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRF470 - Entry not possible; &1 is not a transparent table or structure ?

    The SAP error message BRF470 ("Entry not possible; &1 is not a transparent table or structure") typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when you are trying to create or modify a rule or decision table that references a database table or structure that is not transparent.

    Cause:

    1. Non-Transparent Table/Structure: The error indicates that the object you are trying to use (referenced by &1) is not a transparent table or structure. In SAP, a transparent table is a database table that has a one-to-one relationship with a table in the database. Non-transparent tables may include pooled tables, cluster tables, or other types of structures that do not directly map to a database table.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration or the way the rule is set up may be incorrect, leading to the attempt to reference a non-transparent object.
    3. Data Dictionary Issues: There may be issues with the data dictionary where the table or structure is defined.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Table/Structure: Verify that the table or structure you are trying to use is indeed a transparent table. You can do this by checking the table definition in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
    2. Use a Transparent Table: If the object is not a transparent table, you will need to either:
      • Use a different table that is transparent.
      • Create a new transparent table that meets your requirements.
    3. Modify the Rule: If you are trying to create a rule that references a non-transparent table, consider modifying the rule to use a different data source that is compatible with BRF+.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review the BRF+ documentation for guidelines on how to properly set up rules and the types of data sources that can be used.
    5. Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the table or structure you are trying to use.

    Related Information:

    • BRF+ Documentation: SAP provides extensive documentation on BRF+, including how to work with rules, decision tables, and data sources.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to BRF+ and this specific error message.
