    Causes:

    1. Function Module Not Activated: The function module may not have been activated after its creation or modification.
    2. Transport Issues: If the function module was transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.
    3. Development Environment: The function module might exist in a development environment but not in the production environment.
    4. Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access or activate the function module.
