• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CG008 - Default type & does not exist in form group & ?

  The SAP error message CG008 indicates that a default type specified in a form group does not exist. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when dealing with classification data or when trying to create or modify a classification form.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Default Type: The default type specified in the form group is not defined in the system. This could happen if the type was deleted or never created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The form group may be incorrectly configured, pointing to a non-existent or incorrect default type.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Default Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to check if the default type exists.

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including the default type, were included.
