• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OL675 - Method & for object type & is not a BAPI ?

  The SAP error message OL675 indicates that a method you are trying to call is not a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) method. This error typically occurs when you are attempting to use a method from a Business Object that is not defined as a BAPI, which means it cannot be called in the same way as a BAPI.
  Cause:
  
  Non-BAPI Method: The method you are trying to invoke is not defined as a BAPI in the Business Object.
  Incorrect Object Type: You may be using the wrong object type or method name.
  Configuration Issues: The Business Object may not be properly configured to expose the method as a BAPI.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Definition: Verify that the method you are trying to call is indeed a BAPI. You can do this by checking the Business Object in transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder) and looking for the method in question.
  Use Correct BAPI: If the method is not a BAPI, look for an alternative BAPI that provides similar functionality. You can find BAPIs in transaction BAPI or by searching in the SAP documentation.
  Review Object Type: Ensure that you are using the correct object type and method name in your call.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the specific module documentation to understand the available BAPIs and their usage.
  Custom Development: If you need the functionality of the non-BAPI method, consider creating a wrapper BAPI that internally calls the non-BAPI method.
