• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF357 - Authorization object &1 does not exit ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF357 Authorization object &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to check for an authorization object that is not defined in the system. This can occur in the context of Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) where specific authorizations are required to access or manipulate business objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The authorization object referenced in the error message (&1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a missing configuration or a transport issue where the object was not transported to the target system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The BOPF configuration might be pointing to an authorization object that has not been created or activated.
  User Role Issues: The user role assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations, or the role may not be properly configured to include the required authorization objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization Object:
  
  Use transaction code SU21 to check if the authorization object exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system where it exists.
  
  
  
  Review BOPF Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code BOBF to access the BOPF configuration. Check the relevant business object and ensure that the authorization object is correctly defined and linked.
  
  
  
  User Role Assignment:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the user roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the business object in question.
  If the authorization object is missing from the role, you may need to add it and regenerate the profile.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the authorization object was recently created or modified, ensure that the transport request containing the changes has been successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific business object or authorization object for any additional configuration steps that may be required.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Authorization Concept: Familiarize yourself with the SAP authorization concept, especially in the context of BOPF, to understand how authorizations are managed and enforced.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further assistance.
