  Causes:
  
  Missing Class Definition: The specified class (e.g., absence type, time type) has not been created or is not active in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is looking for a class that has been incorrectly specified or deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the class was recently transported from another system, the transport may not have included the necessary definitions.
