This error typically occurs in the context of Logistics Execution (LE) when trying to print or generate a document that requires a specific form type that has not been configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Form Type Definition: The form type you are trying to use has not been defined in the Customizing settings of the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The form type may be incorrectly configured or not assigned to the relevant document type.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Form Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Forms > Define Form Types.

  Assign Form Type to Document Type:
  
  Ensure that the form type is assigned to the relevant document type. This can usually be done in the same area of Customizing where you defined the form types.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
