  Cause:
  
  Typographical Error: The class name may have been misspelled or incorrectly referenced in the code or configuration.
  Class Not Activated: The ABAP class may not be activated in the system. If the class is newly created or modified, it needs to be activated before it can be used.

  Solution:
  
  Check Class Name: Verify that the class name is spelled correctly and matches the expected naming conventions.
  Activate the Class: If the class exists but is not activated, go to the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE24) and activate the class.
