  The SAP error message FWTR074 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of activity categories in relation to transaction categories. Specifically, it states that the activity category "order" is not defined for the specified transaction category.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  The activity category you are trying to use (in this case, "order") has not been defined in the system for the specified transaction category.
