BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES error 5AT130

[Former Member]

We are trying to update some user attributes using the FM BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES and we are getting the error Value & of & cannot be inherited.

Can anyone tell me what that really means and if there is a work around for this?   I have searched for this and am getting conflicting information concerning the use of this FM.  Some people say it wipes out attributes others say if you have the replace flag is doesn't.   I've also read perhaps we should use PP01 or PO13 or BBPATTMAINT.   I just don't see how we would be able to easily automate using any of those transactions. 

Suggestions?

In the end we had data in the org structure that was wrong so once we deleted that data the update worked as expected.

Sandra, I am getting same error but cannot find the data that is wrong in the org structure.  Would you mind sharing the detail perhaps it will help me find the issue in my system.

Thanks, Kathy

Hi Sandra,

1. Transfer only not inherited attributes to this function module (but all not inherited attributes)

For example if you cant to update cost center, but already have catalog assigned - you need to transfer both values to this function module.

2. Try to set REPLACE_P = ABAP_TRUE
