  The SAP error message CMS_COR012: Receiver &1 address not found typically occurs in the context of the SAP Communication Management System (CMS) when the system is unable to locate the address of a specified receiver. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when sending messages, notifications, or data to a specific recipient.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Receiver Address: The address specified for the receiver may be incorrect or not properly configured in the system.

  Solutions:
  
  Verify Receiver Address: Check the configuration of the receiver in the relevant transaction (e.g., SO10 for text elements, or the specific configuration transaction for the communication method being used). Ensure that the address is correct and active.

  Transport Configuration: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary configurations for the receiver were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly.
