  The SAP error message ECATT_MAC_EN004: Selection does not match an object typically occurs in the context of SAP eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) when there is a mismatch between the selected object and the expected object in a test script or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Object Mismatch: The object you are trying to select in your eCATT script does not match the expected object type or identifier. This can happen if the object has been changed, deleted, or if there is a typo in the object name.
  Incorrect Parameters: The parameters or selection criteria used in the eCATT script may not correspond to the actual objects available in the system.
  Versioning Issues: If the object has been modified or updated in a different version of the system, it may lead to this error.

  Verify Object Selection: Check the object name and ensure that it matches exactly with the object in the system. Look for any typos or discrepancies.
