• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BSP_LAYOUT067 - Field group &1 is maintained as a link. This is not possible ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BSP_LAYOUT067 indicates that there is an issue with a field group that is being maintained as a link, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically arises in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications, particularly when dealing with Business Server Pages (BSP) and layout configurations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A field group is defined in a way that it is expected to behave as a link (e.g., a hyperlink or navigation element), but the system does not support this configuration for that particular field group.
  The field group may be incorrectly configured in the BSP application or in the CRM customizing settings.
  There may be a mismatch between the expected data type or properties of the field group and the actual implementation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the BSP application configuration and check the field group settings. Ensure that the field group is not set to behave as a link if it is not intended to do so.
  
  
  
  Review BSP Application:
  
  If you are developing or customizing a BSP application, review the code and layout definitions. Make sure that the field group is defined correctly and does not have properties that would make it behave as a link.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizing Settings:
  
  Navigate to the customizing settings in SAP CRM (transaction SPRO) and check the settings related to field groups and layouts. Ensure that the configurations align with the intended use of the field groups.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring field groups and layouts in BSP applications. This can provide insights into the correct setup.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the BSP application to identify where the error is being triggered. This can help pinpoint the exact configuration or code causing the issue.
