  The SAP error message /GC1/MSG077 Scope def. of object type &1 not permitted: Obj. type &2 does not exist typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration or definition of object types in the context of a specific scope definition. This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP's Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) module or similar areas where object types are defined and managed.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Object Type: The error suggests that the object type specified in the scope definition (&2) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo, incorrect configuration, or the object type not being created or activated.
  Incorrect Scope Definition: The scope definition may be referencing an object type that is not allowed or is incorrectly defined.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or view the object type, leading to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the object types were transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in missing definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Object Type: Check the object type referenced in the error message (&2) to ensure it exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP.
  Check Scope Definition: Review the scope definition to ensure that it is correctly configured and that all referenced object types are valid and exist in the system.
  Create or Activate Object Type: If the object type does not exist, you may need to create it or activate it if it is in a dormant state.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object types involved in the scope definition.
  Transport Validation: If the object types were transported, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
