  Cause:
  
  Non-existent BOR Object Type: The most common cause of this error is that the BOR object type specified in the mapping does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a typo in the object type name or the object type not being created or activated in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the ILM object or the mapping settings that link the ILM object to the BOR object.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, it is possible that the transport did not include the necessary BOR object definitions.
