• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRM118 - Global class &1 of check &2 cannot be instantiated ?

  The SAP error message SCRM118 indicates that there is an issue with the instantiation of a global class in the context of a check in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Risk Management or similar modules where checks are defined using global classes.
  Cause:
  
  Class Not Found: The specified global class (&1) may not exist in the system. This could be due to a missing transport or an incorrect class name.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or instantiate the class.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors or issues in the class definition that prevent it from being instantiated.
  Class Activation: The class may not be activated in the system. If the class is newly created or modified, it needs to be activated.
  Namespace Issues: If the class is in a specific namespace, ensure that the namespace is correctly defined and accessible.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Existence: Verify that the global class exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction SE24 (Class Builder) to search for the class name.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the class. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  Review Class Definition: Open the class in SE24 and check for any syntax errors or issues in the implementation. Make sure that the class is correctly defined and does not have any compilation errors.
  Activate the Class: If the class is not activated, activate it in SE24. This is necessary for the class to be instantiated.
  Check Namespace: If the class is in a specific namespace, ensure that the namespace is correctly configured and that the class is accessible from the context in which it is being called.
