• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF184 - Superfluos conv. rule &1 is assigned; proxy attr. has no directive '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF184 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) in SAP. Specifically, it points to a situation where a superfluous conversion rule is assigned to a proxy attribute that does not have a corresponding directive.
  Cause:
  
  Superfluous Conversion Rule: This means that there is a conversion rule defined in the BOPF configuration that is not needed or is incorrectly assigned to a proxy attribute.
  Missing Directive: The proxy attribute in question does not have a directive associated with it, which is necessary for the conversion rule to function properly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check BOPF Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOPF configuration for the relevant business object.
  Identify the proxy attribute mentioned in the error message (&2).
  Check the conversion rules assigned to this attribute.
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct the Conversion Rule:
  
  If the conversion rule (&1) is indeed superfluous, you can remove it from the configuration.
  If the conversion rule is necessary, ensure that the proxy attribute has the appropriate directive defined.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Directive:
  
  If the directive is missing, you need to create or assign the correct directive for the proxy attribute. This may involve defining how the attribute should be processed or converted.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are transported to the appropriate systems (e.g., quality assurance, production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the business object behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOPF Documentation: Review the SAP documentation on BOPF to understand how conversion rules and directives work.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like BOPF or SE80 to access the BOPF configuration and make necessary adjustments.

  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert familiar with BOPF configurations.
