  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/COM_GENERATOR181 - Object &1 &2 &3 is not editable ?

    The SAP error message /BOBF/COM_GENERATOR181 indicates that the object you are trying to edit is not editable. This error typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) in SAP, which is used for managing business objects in a structured way.

    Cause:

    1. Object Configuration: The object you are trying to edit may be configured as read-only in the BOPF definition. This means that the object does not allow modifications.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the object.
    3. Business Logic: There may be business logic implemented in the BOPF that restricts editing under certain conditions (e.g., the object is in a specific status).
    4. Data Locking: The object might be locked by another transaction or user, preventing edits.

    Solution:

    1. Check Object Configuration: Review the BOPF configuration for the object in question. Ensure that the object is set to be editable. This can be done in the BOPF configuration transaction (e.g., using transaction code /BOBF/CONF).
    2. Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to edit the object. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
    3. Check Business Logic: Investigate any business rules or conditions that may prevent editing. This may involve checking the implementation of the BOPF actions and validations.
    4. Data Locking: Check if the object is locked by another user or transaction. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks.
    5. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the BOPF actions to identify where the restriction is being applied.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
