• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA130 - Business object type & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message WA130: Business object type & does not exist typically occurs when the system cannot find or recognize the specified Business Object type in the Business Object Repository (BOR).
  
  Cause
  
  The Business Object type you are trying to use or reference does not exist in the system's BOR.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  Typographical error in the Business Object type name.
  The Business Object has not been created or imported into the system.
  The Business Object Repository is not properly updated or has become inconsistent.
  The object type is custom and has not been transported or activated in the current system.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Business Object type name:
  
  Verify that the Business Object type name is correct and matches exactly the name in the BOR.
  Use transaction SWO1 to search for the Business Object type.
  
  
  
  Verify the existence of the Business Object:
  
  Go to transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder).
  Enter the Business Object type name and check if it exists.
  If it does not exist, you need to create or import the Business Object.
  
  
  
  Import or activate the Business Object:
  
  If the Business Object is custom or from another system, ensure it has been transported correctly.
  Activate the Business Object in SWO1 if it is inactive.
  
  
  
  Check system consistency:
  
  Sometimes the BOR can become inconsistent.
  Run report RSWBOR_CHECK to check the consistency of the BOR.
  If inconsistencies are found, correct them or re-import the Business Object.
  
  
  
  Check authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to access the Business Object.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error occurs during runtime, debug the program to check the exact Business Object type being passed.
  Look for dynamic generation of the Business Object type name that might be incorrect.
