• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 28073 - Object does not exist ?

  The SAP error message "28073 Object does not exist" typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specific object (such as a program, function module, or other repository object) that is being referenced in a transaction or operation. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during the execution of a program, when trying to access a transaction, or when working with development objects.
  Causes:
  
  Object Deletion: The object you are trying to access may have been deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been imported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the object reference, leading to the system being unable to locate it.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the object may exist in another client or may not have been activated.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the object exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the object.
  Review Transport Logs: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the object was included.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  Correct Naming: Double-check the spelling and naming conventions used when referencing the object to ensure there are no errors.
  Activate Objects: If you are in a development environment, ensure that the object has been activated. You can do this in the relevant development transaction (e.g., SE80).
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system inconsistencies or issues that may be affecting object visibility.
