• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SEEF_BADI123 - Definition of filter &1 has Dictionary reference &3 differing from &2 ?

  The SAP error message SEEF_BADI123 indicates an issue related to the definition of a Business Add-In (BAdI) filter. Specifically, it points out that the filter definition has a dictionary reference that differs from what is expected. This can occur when there is a mismatch in the data types or structures defined in the BAdI implementation.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Data Types: The filter definition for the BAdI is expecting a certain data type or structure, but the implementation is using a different one.
  Changes in Data Dictionary: If there have been recent changes to the data dictionary (like changes in the structure of a table or a data element), it can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Filter Implementation: The filter implementation may not be correctly aligned with the BAdI definition, leading to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Filter Definition: Review the filter definition in the BAdI implementation. Ensure that the data types and structures match what is defined in the BAdI interface.
  Adjust Data Types: If there is a mismatch, adjust the data types in the filter definition or the BAdI implementation to ensure they are consistent.
  Re-implement the BAdI: If necessary, you may need to re-implement the BAdI to ensure that it adheres to the correct definitions and types.
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific BAdI to understand the expected data types and structures.
  Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the development and production environments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI Definition: Business Add-Ins are a way to enhance SAP applications without modifying the original code. They allow for custom implementations.
  Data Dictionary: The data dictionary in SAP contains definitions of data elements, structures, tables, and views. Changes here can impact BAdI implementations.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE18 (for BAdI definitions) and SE19 (for BAdI implementations) to investigate and modify BAdI settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide guidance on this error message.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert familiar with BAdI implementations.
