How To Fix DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN003 - Outbound implementations have incompatible filter objects

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN - DRF - Check Customizing Report Messages

• Message number: 003

• Message text: Outbound implementations have incompatible filter objects

What causes this issue?

Different filter objects are assigned to the same business object in
more than one outbound implementation within a replication model. This
is not allowed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Procedure for System Administrators

If you are using the same business object in multiple outbound
implementations, you must use the same filter object for that business
object.
If you need to use different filter objects for the same business
object, you must define an additional replication model.
You define filter objects for business objects in Customizing for

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN003 - Outbound implementations have incompatible filter objects ?

  The SAP error message DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN003 indicates that there is an issue with the filter objects used in outbound implementations of the Data Replication Framework (DRF). This error typically arises when the filter objects defined in the outbound implementation do not match or are incompatible with those defined in the source system or the configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Filter Objects: The filter objects defined in the outbound implementation may not align with the filter objects in the source system. This can happen if there are changes in the filter criteria or if the filter objects have been modified or deleted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration settings for the DRF, such as missing or incorrectly defined filter objects.
  Version Mismatch: If there are different versions of the filter objects in the source and target systems, this can lead to compatibility issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Filter Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the DRF configuration in the SAP system and verify the filter objects defined for the outbound implementation.
  Ensure that the filter objects in the outbound implementation match those in the source system.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filter Objects:
  
  If there are discrepancies, you may need to adjust the filter objects in either the source or target system to ensure compatibility.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., DRFOUT for outbound implementations) and modifying the filter settings.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update Implementations:
  
  If necessary, consider recreating the outbound implementation or updating it to ensure that it aligns with the current filter objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all relevant objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing components.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to DRF and filter objects for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the outbound implementation works as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as DRFOUT (for outbound implementations) and DRFIMG (for DRF configuration).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to DRF and filter objects that may address known issues.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN003 error and ensure that your outbound implementations are correctly configured.
