  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_IPM_E424 typically indicates an issue related to the default transaction type for a specific combination of parameters, such as transaction type (TrType), reason (R-Rsn), and indicator (R-Ind). This error often arises in the context of the SAP Integrated Product Management (IPM) module or similar areas where transaction types are defined and utilized.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The default transaction type for the specified combination of parameters is not defined in the system. This can happen if the necessary configuration settings have not been set up in the relevant customizing transactions.
