  The SAP error message "CZ012 &/& &/& is not defined" typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a specific object or master data in the SAP system. This error often arises in the context of materials management, sales and distribution, or other modules where specific codes or identifiers are expected but not found in the system.
  Cause:
