This error is often encountered in the context of process industries, particularly in applications related to chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The reactor type specified (represented by &1) is not present in the configuration table (represented by &2). This could be due to:
  
  The reactor type was never created.
  The reactor type was deleted or not properly maintained.
  There is a typo or mismatch in the reactor type being referenced.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect entries or missing records in the relevant tables.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, the reactor type may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration table (the name of the table will be indicated in the error message as &2).
  Verify if the reactor type &1 exists in that table.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it or correct the reference in your process.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines for setting up reactor types in your specific SAP environment.
