  The SAP error message CRM_MKTISM_APPLIC036 indicates that there is an issue with the type of target object you are trying to use in a marketing campaign or activity. Specifically, the error states that the target object is not of the selected type '&1', which means that the system expected a different type of object than what was provided.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The target object you are trying to use (e.g., a business partner, customer, or another entity) does not match the expected type defined in the marketing activity or campaign.

  Check Data: Ensure that the target object has all the necessary data and is correctly set up in the system. This includes checking for any missing or incorrect fields that might cause the system to reject the object.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the expected object types for the marketing activity you are working with.
