• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICLCUST068 - Benefit type &1: Object type &2 has not been defined ?

  The SAP error message ICLCUST068 typically indicates that there is a configuration issue related to a benefit type in the SAP system. Specifically, the message states that a certain object type has not been defined for the specified benefit type. This can occur in the context of SAP's Benefits Administration module, which is part of the Human Capital Management (HCM) suite.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The object type (e.g., a specific benefit plan or eligibility criteria) has not been defined in the system for the specified benefit type.
  Incorrect Customization: The benefit type may have been customized incorrectly, leading to a reference to an object type that does not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the necessary object types may not have been included in the transport.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the Benefits Administration section.
  Verify that the benefit type in question is correctly configured and that all required object types are defined.
  
  
  
  Define Object Types:
  
  If the object type is indeed missing, you will need to define it. This can typically be done in the same IMG area where you manage benefit types.
  Ensure that all necessary attributes and settings for the object type are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Review Customization:
  
  If there have been recent changes or customizations, review them to ensure that they are correct and complete.
  Check for any dependencies that may not have been addressed.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the missing objects or manually create them in the target system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the benefit type to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
