Unable to find the element located by 'By.xpath: id("posBoardBusinessValidationDiv")/div[@class="flexigrid"]/
div[@class="bDiv"]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[1]/input'. 
Please recheck the objects properties to make sure the desired element is located.

Kindly try other way to find unique locators

For an <id> attribute, having it in the below format is valid. This format only works on the <id> attribute.
id("posBoardBusinessValidationDiv")

However, I would try and start your pathway closer to your final destination. Can you start at //table[1]/tbody[1]? Maybe like:

//table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[1]/input
(don’t know if this is a valid pathway due to your error message)
or even:
id("posBoardBusinessValidationDiv")//table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[1]/input

Without seeing the HTML it is difficult to determine what pathway you should be using. You might have to waitFor until the object is visible before moving on.

More information needed.

Please share the HTML source of your target URL.
Please share the source code of your Test Case.
Please share the error log (do not trim much, surrounding logs needed)
Please share the screenshot of the definition of TestObject which the error was raised about.

… these are visible for you easily, but not for others.

I guess, the target web page uses <iframe> in which the HTML element at 'By.xpath: id("posBoardBusinessValidationDiv")/div[@class="flexigrid"]/ div[@class="bDiv"]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[1]/input' is contained.

If there is an <iframe> in the page, you must do WebUI.switchToFrame first.
