  Cause of EA483
  
  Missing Basic Type Definition: The basic type specified in the IDoc is not defined in the SAP system. This can happen if the IDoc type was not properly installed or if there are discrepancies in the configuration.

  Transport Requests:
  
  If the basic type was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs for any errors or issues.
  Re-import the transport request if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
