• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GOX_OBJECTS_GENERATE201 - Object type & is not defined ?

  The SAP error message GOX_OBJECTS_GENERATE201 typically indicates that there is an issue with an object type that is not defined in the system. This error often arises in the context of generating or processing objects in SAP, particularly when working with the Generic Object Services (GOS) or when dealing with custom objects.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Object Type: The object type specified in the error message is not defined in the system. This could be due to a missing configuration or an incorrect reference to an object type.
  Custom Development Issues: If you are using custom object types, they may not have been properly registered or defined in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the object type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Type Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check if the object type is defined. If it is a custom object, ensure that it has been created and activated properly.
  If the object type is standard, verify that it is part of the SAP system you are using.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Development:
  
  If you are using custom object types, check the custom development to ensure that the object type is correctly defined and registered in the system.

  Transport Management:
  
  If the object type was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was included in the transport request and that there were no errors during the transport process.
  If necessary, re-transport the object type or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user encountering the error has the necessary authorizations to access the object type. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
