  Changes in Business Object: The underlying business object definition has been modified (e.g., changes in attributes, associations, or other configurations).
  Code Changes: If there have been changes in the ABAP code or enhancements related to the BOPF business object, the generated classes may become outdated.

  Check for Errors:
  
  After regeneration, check for any errors or warnings that may arise during the process. Address any issues as necessary.
