  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF118, which states "Object type cannot be determined," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with the data source or the object being referenced in a query or report.
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Object Type: The object type (e.g., InfoObject, InfoProvider, etc.) that is being referenced in the query or report may not be defined correctly or may be missing.
  Transport Issues: If objects were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies or missing objects in the target system.
