  The SAP error message FDT_BRS005 indicates that a specific type (denoted as &1) is not found in the ABAP Dictionary (DDIC). This error typically arises in the context of using the SAP Fiori Design Studio or when working with Business Rules Framework (BRF+), where the system is trying to reference a data type that does not exist or is not properly defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Type: The specified data type may not have been created in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Typographical Error: There could be a typo in the name of the data type being referenced.
  Transport Issues: If the data type was recently created or modified, it may not have been transported correctly to the system where the error is occurring.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data type.
  Namespace Issues: The data type might exist in a different namespace that is not accessible in the current context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Type Existence:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check if the data type exists. If it does not, you may need to create it.
  
  
  
  Verify Typographical Errors:
  
  Double-check the spelling of the data type in your code or configuration to ensure it matches exactly with what is defined in the DDIC.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the data type was recently created or modified, ensure that the transport request containing the data type has been released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data type. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Namespace Verification:
  
  If the data type is in a different namespace, ensure that the current context has access to that namespace.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Refresh:
  
  In some cases, refreshing the cache or rebuilding the application may resolve the issue. You can do this by using transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to refresh the service.
