This error indicates that the system cannot find the necessary entry in the EDISYN table for the specified basic type and extension.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Entry in EDISYN Table: The EDISYN table contains the definitions for IDoc types, including basic types and their extensions. If the entry for the specified basic type and extension is missing, the system will throw this error.
