  Cause:

  Missing or Incorrect Trigger Definition: The trigger that is supposed to initiate the method may not be defined correctly or may be missing altogether.
  Changes in Object Definitions: If there have been recent changes to the business object or method definitions, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the object definitions were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be discrepancies in the definitions.
