• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BRF_SEARCH026 - BAdI CRM_BRF_SEARCH: multiple implementations exist for filters &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BRF_SEARCH026 indicates that there are multiple implementations of the Business Add-In (BAdI) CRM_BRF_SEARCH for the specified filters. This situation arises when the system encounters more than one active implementation of the BAdI for the same filter criteria, which leads to ambiguity in determining which implementation to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Implementations: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple active implementations of the BAdI for the same filter values. This can happen if different developers or teams have created their own implementations without coordinating with each other.
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings may not be correctly set up, leading to the system not being able to resolve which implementation to use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Implementations:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and enter the BAdI name CRM_BRF_SEARCH.
  Click on the "Implementations" button to see all active implementations.
  Identify the implementations that are active for the filters in question.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Adjust Implementations:
  
  If you find multiple implementations that are not needed, you can deactivate the unnecessary ones.
  If both implementations are required, consider modifying them to ensure they do not conflict with each other. You may need to adjust the filter criteria or the logic within the implementations.
  
  
  
  Use Filter Values:
  
  Ensure that the filter values being passed to the BAdI are unique enough to avoid ambiguity. You may need to adjust the calling logic to ensure that only one implementation is applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any documentation related to the BAdI and its implementations to understand the intended use cases and any dependencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, thoroughly test the system to ensure that the correct implementation is being called and that the error no longer occurs.
