• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RCP029 - &1 is a property specification and cannot be used as primary output ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RCP029 indicates that a property specification is being incorrectly used as a primary output in a business object or process. This error typically arises in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or similar modules where business objects and their properties are defined.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The property you are trying to use as a primary output is defined as a property specification, which means it is intended to hold specific attributes or characteristics of a business object rather than serve as a primary output.

  Solution:
  
  Review Object Configuration: Check the configuration of the business object to ensure that you are using the correct type of output. Make sure that the property you are trying to use is indeed intended to be a primary output.
  Change Property Type: If the property needs to be used as a primary output, consider changing its type or definition in the configuration settings to make it suitable for that purpose.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the correct usage of properties and outputs.
  Use Valid Outputs: Ensure that you are using a valid output type that is allowed as a primary output. This may involve selecting a different property or output that meets the requirements.
