  Transport Check: If the class/interface was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported. You can use transaction STMS to check transport requests.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that your user has the necessary authorizations to access the class or interface. You can check this with transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
