  The SAP error message /PM0/3FWM_TOOL116 Class &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to access a class that has not been defined or is not available in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or related modules.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Class Definition: The class specified by &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or a missing transport.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be configured to reference a class that has been deleted or not properly set up.
  Transport Issues: If the class was supposed to be transported from another system and the transport did not occur successfully, this error may arise.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the class.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Existence:
  
  Go to transaction CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) and check if the class with the name specified in the error message exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a transport.

  Ensure that the configuration settings that reference the class are correct. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions.

  If necessary, re-import the transport that contains the class definition.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user encountering the error has the necessary authorizations to access the class. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
