  The SAP error message /PLMB/OSET021 Object &1 of type &2 does not exist or access authorizations are missing typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specific object (like a document, material, or configuration) of a certain type, or that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access that object.
  Causes:
  
  Object Does Not Exist: The object you are trying to access may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the object name or ID, or the object may have been deleted or not created yet.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the required authorizations to access the object. This can happen if the user’s role does not include permissions for the specific object type.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type specified may be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to locate the object.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data model that prevent the object from being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence:
  
  Check if the object (identified by &1) actually exists in the system. You can do this by searching for the object in the relevant transaction or using appropriate reports.
  Ensure that the object type (identified by &2) is correct.
