• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF361 - Authorization object &1 is already assigned to node ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF361 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of an authorization object to a node in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF). Specifically, it means that the authorization object you are trying to assign is already assigned to the specified node.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The most common cause of this error is that the authorization object you are trying to assign to a node is already assigned to that node. This can happen if there was an attempt to assign the same authorization object multiple times.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the BOPF model where the same authorization object is inadvertently linked to the same node.
  Development or Transport Issues: If changes were made in a development environment and transported to a production environment, there might be inconsistencies in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments: 
  
  Go to the BOPF configuration for the specific business object and node in question.
  Review the list of assigned authorization objects to confirm if the object is already assigned.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Assignment:
  
  If you find that the authorization object is indeed already assigned, you can either remove the duplicate assignment or ensure that you are not trying to assign it again.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the assignment is correct and necessary, ensure that the configuration is set up properly without duplicates.
  If you are unsure, consult with your SAP Basis or Security team to verify the correct setup.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If this issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  You may need to re-transport the configuration or manually adjust it in the target system.
