  The SAP error message BEH012, which states "Object type & not defined," typically occurs when the system encounters an object type that has not been properly defined or registered in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with Business Event Handling (BEH) or other object-oriented features in SAP.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Object Type Definition: The object type you are trying to use has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the object type is not linked correctly to the relevant application or module.
  Transport Issues: If the object type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object type.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Define the Object Type:
