  The SAP error message /IWXBE/CM_COS014 Interface '&1' not implemented in class '&2' (ID: '&3', Vers.: '&4') typically indicates that a specific interface is expected to be implemented in a particular class, but it is not found. This can occur in the context of SAP's Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) or other object-oriented programming scenarios within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Implementation: The class specified in the error message does not implement the required interface. This could be due to a missing or incomplete implementation.
  Incorrect Class or Version: The class or version specified may not be the correct one that is supposed to implement the interface.
  Transport Issues: If the class was recently transported from another system, the transport might not have included all necessary components.
  Custom Development: If this is a custom class, the developer may have forgotten to implement the required interface.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Implementation:
  
  Go to the ABAP Workbench (SE80) and check the class specified in the error message.

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the class was recently transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the missing components.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you are unable to find the issue, consider debugging the code to see where the error is being triggered. This can provide more context on what is going wrong.
