• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOBI_MF207 - InfoObject &1 is compounded to InfoObject &2; see long text ?

  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF207 indicates that there is an issue with the use of compounded InfoObjects in your data model. Specifically, it means that the InfoObject you are trying to use (denoted as &1) is compounded with another InfoObject (denoted as &2). This can lead to complications when trying to use the compounded InfoObject in certain contexts, such as in queries or reports.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are attempting to use a compounded InfoObject in a context where it is not allowed or not properly configured.
  The compounded InfoObject is being referenced in a way that does not align with its definition or usage in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the InfoObject Definitions:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the definitions of both InfoObjects involved. Ensure that you understand how they are compounded.
  
  
  
  Use the Base InfoObject:
  
  Instead of using the compounded InfoObject, try using the base InfoObject (the one that is not compounded). This may resolve the issue if the context allows for it.
  
  
  
  Review Query/Report Design:
  
  If you are working with a query or report, review the design to ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to use the compounded InfoObject in a way that is not supported.
  
  
  
  Adjust Compounding:
  
  If necessary, consider adjusting the compounding settings of the InfoObjects. This may involve changing how they are compounded or even un-compounding them if that aligns with your data model requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on compounded InfoObjects and their usage.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as there may be patches or updates that address issues related to compounded InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
