• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_BUPLA018 - BAdI filter 2 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message GLO_BUPLA018 indicates that there is an issue with the BAdI (Business Add-In) filter settings in the context of Business Partner (BP) data processing. Specifically, the message states that "BAdI filter 2 is not allowed," which typically means that the system is trying to apply a filter that is not valid or not permitted for the current operation.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect BAdI Configuration: The BAdI might be configured incorrectly, or the filter criteria set for the BAdI implementation may not be valid for the current context.
  Missing Authorization: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access or use the specific BAdI filter.
  Incompatibility with Business Partner Data: The BAdI implementation may not be compatible with the type of Business Partner data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation: 
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and SE19 (BAdI Implementation) to review the implementation of the BAdI related to Business Partner processing.
  Ensure that the filter settings are correctly defined and that filter 2 is indeed allowed for the specific BAdI implementation.
  
  
  
  Review Filter Settings:
  
  If you have access to the BAdI implementation, check the filter values and ensure that they are set correctly. If filter 2 is not supposed to be used, you may need to adjust the logic in the implementation.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the BAdI. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAdI to understand the expected filter values and any restrictions that may apply.
