ES104 - Details

  • The SAP error message ES104 indicates that a type is defined in a type group, which means that the type you are trying to use is not globally available but is instead restricted to a specific type group. This can occur when you are trying to declare a variable or use a type that is defined within a type group, and the system does not recognize it outside of that context.
    
    Cause: Type Group Definition: The type you are trying to use is defined in a type group, which limits its visibility to the program or function module that includes that type group. Scope Issues: The type is not accessible in the current context where you are trying to use it, leading to the error.
    Solution: Include the Type Group: Ensure that you include the type group in your program or function module. You can do this by using the TYPE-POOLS statement in your ABAP
