SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 004

• Message text: For business object &1 in outb. impl. &2 no filter object configured

What causes this issue?

No filter object is defined for both of the following:
Business object &1
Outbound implementation &2 (which uses business object &1)

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

System Response

How to fix this error?

Define a filter object for business object &1. This becomes the
standard filter object for all outbound implementations that have no
filter object defined.
You can do this in Customizing for <ZK>Data Replication</> under
<LS>Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications -> Master Data
Governance -> General Settings -> Data Replication -> Enhance Default
Settings for Outbound Implementations -> Define Business Objects and
Object Identifiers -> Assign Filter Objects to Business Objects</>.
If necessary, define a filter object for outbound implementation
&2 of business object &1. The filter object defined for an
outbound implementation always takes precedence over the filter object
defined for a business object.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN004 - For business object &1 in outb. impl. &2 no filter object configured ?

  The SAP error message DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN004 indicates that there is no filter object configured for a specific business object in the outbound implementation of the Data Replication Framework (DRF). This error typically arises when you are trying to set up or execute data replication for a business object, but the necessary configuration for filtering the data is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Filter Object Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that the filter object for the specified business object has not been defined in the outbound implementation.
  Incorrect Customization: There may be an issue with the customization settings in the DRF configuration, leading to the absence of the required filter object.
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model for the business object may not be properly aligned with the DRF settings, causing the system to not recognize the filter object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Outbound Implementation:
  
  Go to the DRF configuration transaction (usually DRFOUT or DRFIMG).
  Navigate to the outbound implementation for the specific business object mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Configure Filter Object:
  
  In the outbound implementation settings, check if a filter object is defined.
  If it is missing, you will need to create or configure a filter object for the business object.
  Ensure that the filter object is correctly linked to the business object and that it meets the requirements for data replication.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Ensure that all necessary customizing settings for the DRF are correctly maintained.
  Check if there are any other related settings that might affect the filter object configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  You can do this by attempting to replicate data for the business object again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to the SAP documentation or help guides related to the Data Replication Framework for detailed instructions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as DRFOUT, DRFIMG, and SLG1 (for logging) to monitor and troubleshoot replication issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to DRF and the specific business object you are working with, as they may provide additional insights or solutions.
  Community Forums: Consider visiting SAP Community forums or other user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, as they can provide practical solutions and experiences from other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DRF_CHECK_CUSTOMIZIN004 error and successfully configure the necessary filter object for your business object in the Data Replication Framework.
