The SAP error message
/BOBF/CONF391
typically indicates an issue related to the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) in SAP. This error occurs when there is a mismatch or conflict in the structure definitions of transient and persistent structures in a BOPF node.Cause:
Transient vs. Persistent Structures: The error suggests that a transient structure (which is temporary and not stored in the database) is trying to use an element name that is defined in a persistent structure (which is stored in the database). This can happen if the transient structure is not properly defined or if there is a misconfiguration in the BOPF node.
Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as adding or modifying fields in the persistent structure, and the transient structure has not been updated accordingly, this error may occur.
Inconsistent Definitions: The definitions of the transient and persistent structures may not be consistent, leading to conflicts when the BOPF framework tries to process the data.
Solution:
Check Structure Definitions: Review the definitions of both the transient and persistent structures in the BOPF configuration. Ensure that the fields in the transient structure are correctly defined and that they match the expected fields in the persistent structure.
Update Transient Structure: If there have been changes to the persistent structure, update the transient structure to reflect these changes. This may involve adding, removing, or renaming fields in the transient structure.
Regenerate BOPF Objects: After making changes to the structures, regenerate the BOPF objects to ensure that the changes are applied correctly. This can usually be done through the BOPF transaction or development environment.
Check for Custom Code: If there is any custom code that interacts with the BOPF node, review it to ensure that it is not causing the conflict. Make sure that any custom logic is compatible with the current structure definitions.
Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for BOPF and the specific business object you are working with. There may be additional guidelines or best practices that can help resolve the issue.

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.
