  The SAP error message CL474 ("Objects cannot be used") typically occurs in the context of class or object-oriented programming within the SAP ABAP environment. This error indicates that there is an issue with the usage of certain objects, such as classes, interfaces, or methods, which are not available for use in the current context.
  Causes:
  
  Object Not Active: The class or interface you are trying to use may not be active or has not been properly activated in the system.
  Missing Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object being referenced may not be of the expected type or may not be compatible with the operation being performed.
  Namespace Issues: If the object is in a different namespace, it may not be accessible in the current context.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated or may be in a different state.
