• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP161 - BAdI implementation &1 is active; the separator was changed ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP161 typically indicates an issue related to the implementation of a Business Add-In (BAdI) in the SAP system. This specific error message suggests that the BAdI implementation is active, but there has been a change in the separator used in the implementation, which can lead to inconsistencies or errors in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Separator: The error is triggered when the separator used in the BAdI implementation has been modified. This could happen due to changes in configuration or updates to the BAdI itself.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data being processed by the BAdI relies on a specific separator format, changing it without updating the related data or logic can lead to errors.
  Multiple Implementations: If there are multiple active implementations of the same BAdI, and they use different separators, it can cause conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: Check the implementation of the BAdI to identify where the separator is defined and ensure it is consistent with the expected format.
  Update Configuration: If the separator has been changed intentionally, ensure that all related configurations and data are updated accordingly to reflect this change.
  Deactivate Other Implementations: If there are multiple active implementations of the BAdI, consider deactivating the ones that are not needed or consolidating them to avoid conflicts.
  Test Changes: After making any changes, thoroughly test the BAdI implementation to ensure that it works correctly with the new separator.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAdI for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI Definition: Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are a type of enhancement in SAP that allows developers to add custom functionality to standard SAP applications without modifying the original code.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE18 (to display BAdI definitions) and SE19 (to implement BAdIs) to manage BAdI implementations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context on the BAdI in question.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation.
