  The SAP error message /SCWM/MQ_CONFIG005 Class &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is trying to access a class that has not been defined or does not exist in the system. This can happen during various operations, such as when configuring the system for handling materials, managing warehouse processes, or integrating with other systems.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Class Definition: The specified class (indicated by &1 in the error message) has not been created or is not available in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings where the system is expecting a certain class to be present.
  Transport Issues: If the class was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Definition:
