  The SAP error message ADW047 indicates that an object (like a program, function module, or class) is being used in a context that is not allowed due to package restrictions. Specifically, it means that the object can only be used in certain types of packages, and the current package does not meet those criteria.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  An object is being referenced in a package that does not have the necessary permissions or is not compatible with the object type.
  The object is defined in a package that has restrictions on its usage in other packages (e.g., a local package vs. a transportable package).
  There may be a mismatch between the object’s package and the package of the program or function that is trying to use it.
