  The SAP error message RSO_BOIS040 indicates that the object version of a Business Warehouse (BW) object is not specified. This error typically occurs when you are trying to access or manipulate a BW object (like a query, InfoProvider, or other BW-related objects) without specifying the required object version.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Object Version: The most common cause of this error is that the object version (I_OBJVERS) is not provided in the request or function call. In BW, objects can have different versions (like active, inactive, etc.), and the system needs to know which version you are referring to.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the BW system that is causing the object version to not be recognized or retrieved correctly.
  Data Source Issues: If the data source or InfoProvider is not properly set up or is missing, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify Object Version: Ensure that when you are calling the BW object, you specify the object version. This can usually be done by setting the appropriate parameter in your query or function call.
  
  For example, if you are using a BEx query, make sure to specify the version in the query properties.

  Review Data Source Configuration: If the error is related to a data source, check the configuration of the data source and ensure that it is correctly set up and activated.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport was successful and that all dependencies are in place.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the BW system, you can debug the process to see where the object version is being set or where it might be missing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BW object you are working with for any additional requirements regarding object versions.
