• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRF535 - Node &1 must not contain a condition ?

  The SAP error message BRF535 ("Node &1 must not contain a condition") typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when you are trying to create or modify a decision table, decision tree, or other rule-based structures. This error indicates that a specific node in your rule structure is incorrectly configured to contain a condition when it should not.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Node Type: The node you are trying to configure is not designed to hold conditions. For example, a terminal node or a decision node may not allow conditions.
  Misconfiguration: You may have inadvertently added a condition to a node that is not intended to evaluate conditions, such as a result node or an action node.

  Solution:
  
  Review Node Type: Check the type of the node that is causing the error. Ensure that it is appropriate for containing conditions. If it is a terminal or result node, remove any conditions associated with it.
  Modify Node Configuration: If you find that a node is incorrectly configured, you can either:
  
  Remove the condition from the node.
  Change the node type to one that can contain conditions, if applicable.
  
  
  Check Hierarchy: Ensure that the overall structure of your decision tree or table is correct. Nodes should be organized in a way that respects the rules of BRF+ regarding which nodes can contain conditions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP BRF+ documentation for guidance on node types and their configurations to ensure compliance with the framework's requirements.
