  The SAP error message DMF_OUTBOUND031, which states "Customizing: No original message type is in use," typically occurs in the context of Data Management Framework (DMF) when there is an issue with the configuration of message types for outbound processing. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid original message type that is required for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The original message type may not be configured in the system. This can happen if the necessary customizing settings have not been completed.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between the source and target message types may not be set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to identify the original message type.
  Inactive Message Type: The message type that is supposed to be used may be inactive or not properly defined in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing or incomplete settings.
