• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TYPES063 - Custom Type '&1' is not assigned and therefore not imported ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TYPES063 Custom Type '&1' is not assigned and therefore not imported typically occurs in the context of SAP Business One or related SAP systems when there is an issue with custom types that have not been properly defined or assigned in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Unassigned Custom Type: The error indicates that a custom type (denoted by &1) has not been assigned in the system. This could happen if the type was created but not linked to any relevant objects or processes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system where the custom type is expected to be used but is not properly set up.
  Transport Issues: If the custom type was transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Custom Type Assignment:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where custom types are defined.
  Verify that the custom type &1 is properly assigned to the necessary objects or processes.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Custom Type:
  
  If the custom type does not exist, create it.
  If it exists but is not assigned, assign it to the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that the transport request included the custom type and that it was imported correctly.
  Check the transport logs for any errors or warnings related to the custom type.
  
  
  
  Re-import or Activate:
  
  If the custom type was part of a transport, try re-importing the transport request or activating the custom type if it is in a pending state.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to custom types and their configuration to ensure compliance with best practices.
