  Error Message
  WTY077: Object type/model does not exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference a specific object type or model in the SAP system, but it cannot find it in the database or configuration. This typically happens in the context of SAP Workflow (WF) or Business Object Repository (BOR) where the workflow engine or a related process expects a certain object type/model to be present but it is missing or incorrectly configured.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The object type/model has not been created or imported into the system.
  The object type/model was deleted or is inactive.
  There is a mismatch in the object type/model name or namespace.
  Transport issues where the object type/model was not transported properly between systems.
  The workflow or program is referencing an outdated or incorrect object type/model.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Verify Object Type/Model Existence:
  
  Use transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder) to check if the object type/model exists.
  Enter the object type name and check if it is active and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Check Object Type/Model Activation:
  
  If the object type/model exists but is inactive, activate it in SWO1.
  
  
  
  Import or Re-import Object Type/Model:
  
  If the object type/model is missing, import it from the source system or transport request.
  Use transaction STMS to check transport requests related to the object type/model.
  Re-import or re-apply the transport if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Program References:
  
  Review the workflow or program code that references the object type/model.
  Ensure the object type/model name is spelled correctly and matches the one in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Namespace and Object Type Consistency:
  
  Sometimes, custom object types are created in a specific namespace.
  Verify that the namespace is consistent and correctly referenced.
  
  
  
  Regenerate or Rebuild Workflow Objects:
  
  If the workflow is corrupted or outdated, regenerate the workflow or recreate the relevant steps.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for any known issues related to WTY077.
  Apply relevant SAP Notes if available.
