• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REBDCA040 - &1: subordinate objects are assigned to architectural view ?

  The SAP error message REBDCA040 typically indicates that there are subordinate objects (such as business processes, organizational units, or other entities) that are assigned to an architectural view in the SAP system. This can occur in the context of SAP's Enterprise Architecture or Business Process Management modules, where views are used to represent different aspects of the business architecture.
  Cause:
