  SAP Message: WZ568 Favorites: Default method entered for this object type
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are working with SAP Favorites in the SAP GUI, specifically when you add an object (such as a transaction, report, or URL) to your favorites, and the system automatically assigns a default method for handling that object type.
  
  Object types in SAP Favorites can be transactions, URLs, reports, or other SAP objects.
  Each object type has a method that defines how the system processes or executes the favorite.
  If you add an object without specifying a method, SAP assigns a default method.
  The message WZ568 is informational, indicating that the system has used the default method because no specific method was provided.
  
  
  When does it occur?

  Check the object type and assign a suitable method if you have custom requirements.
  
  
  If you are a developer or administrator:
  
  Review the code or process that adds favorites to ensure the method is set correctly.
