• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA453 - Receiver FM & can only be used for instance linkages ?

  The SAP error message:
  WA453 Receiver FM & can only be used for instance linkages
  typically occurs in the context of Function Module (FM) call linkage or instance method calls within ABAP Object-Oriented programming or when dealing with function module references.
  
  Cause
  This error message indicates that the receiver function module (FM) specified in a call or linkage can only be used for instance linkages. In other words, the FM you are trying to use as a receiver is designed to be called only in the context of an instance method call or instance linkage, not as a static or standalone FM call.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Attempting to call an FM that is defined as an instance method (or linked to an instance) in a static context.
  Using a function module reference or callback incorrectly, where the FM expects an instance linkage but is being called without an instance.
  Misuse of the CALL FUNCTION statement or
