This error is reported during SAP® synchronization of a BPR item toward SAP® Solution Manager that cannot be used in your project.
Error message
Unable to transfer element <Name of element> because it does not exist in the BPR, or because the element has a function type that differs from that in the BPR.
Cause
- A BPR element with this SAP function type does not exist in the BPR. The SAP function type may have been switched manually from Process to Process step or from Process step to Process. However, changes of this kind are not permitted because each BPR element has one defined SAP function type. The correct BPR element can be found in SAP® Solution Manager using the BPR selection tool's search function.
- The ICO release version of your SAP® system and the release version of the system from which you downloaded the BPR elements are different. However, these versions must be identical.
Solution
- If you need a function with a different SAP function type, you must create a new object. You cannot use the BPR element with the changed SAP function type.
- If the ICO release versions are different, you need to download all BPR elements from the current version again and replace the BPR elements you have now.
