  The SAP error message FOX0086 indicates that there is an issue related to the implementation class for a specific object type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Flexible Workflow or Business Object Processing Framework, where an implementation class is expected but not specified.
  Cause:
  The error message FOX0086 is triggered when:
  
  An object type is defined in the system, but the corresponding implementation class is not specified or is missing.

  Solution:

  Ensure that the object type has an associated implementation class defined.
  
  
  
  Define Implementation Class:
  
  If the implementation class is missing, you will need to create or specify the appropriate implementation class for the object type.
  This can involve creating a new class in ABAP that implements the necessary methods for the object type.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during a workflow execution, check the workflow definition to ensure that it correctly references the object type and its implementation class.
  Make sure that all necessary steps in the workflow are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:

  Testing:
