• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF400 - Structured Alternative Key &1 must not be named with a field name ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF400 Structured Alternative Key &1 must not be named with a field name typically occurs in the context of Business Object Framework (BOBF) when defining alternative keys for a business object. This error indicates that the structured alternative key you are trying to define is incorrectly named using a field name, which is not allowed.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Rename the Alternative Key: Change the name of the structured alternative key to something that does not directly reference any field name. Use a more generic name that reflects the purpose of the key rather than the specific fields it may involve.
  Review Business Object Configuration: Go through the configuration of the business object in the BOBF framework to ensure that all keys are defined correctly and adhere to the naming conventions.
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for BOBF to understand the correct way to define structured alternative keys and ensure compliance with the guidelines.
