  Activate Objects: Ensure that all referenced objects (like classes, function modules, etc.) are activated. You can check this in the Object Navigator (SE80).
  Check Transport Requests: If the code was transported, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they are activated in the target system.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the objects involved in the code generation.
  System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
