2437184 - "'<object_name>' is restricted and cannot be filtered on." error in BusinessObjects Cloud when building a SuccessFactors Query

The following error message appears when creating a new Query from SuccessFactors Connection:

• "'<object_name>' is restricted and cannot be filtered on."
  

• SAP BusinessObjects Cloud
• SAP SuccessFactors

1. Login to BusinessObjects Cloud.
2. Create a new model from SuccessFactors Application.
3. Select the connection and create a new Query.
4. Add an object to the "Filters" from the available data.
5. Notice the error message.

• In the OData API it is specified, that the selected object is not filterable:
• sf:Filterable / sap.filterable is set to ”false”
• I.e: Check "Institution" in "OData API Entities" menu in SuccessFactors (SF Admin right is needed).
  

The behavior is by design:

• Since the filterable property of the objects is set to false in the metadata, it cannot be used in BusinessObjects Cloud for filtering.
• The filterable property can not be changed directly from the $metadata.
