  The SAP error message NRSCNV178 indicates that the system is unable to instantiate a customer exit class. This typically occurs during the execution of a program or transaction that relies on a specific customer exit implementation, which is a way to enhance standard SAP functionality without modifying the original code.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Implementation: The customer exit class that is being referenced may not be implemented or activated in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the customer exit may be incorrect, leading to the inability to instantiate the class.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the customer exit class.
  Transport Issues: If the customer exit was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that prevented it from being properly activated.
