  The SAP error message /AIFX/ECH005 indicates that a specific ECH (Error Handling) message was not found, which prevents the editing of the FEH (Functional Error Handling) message. This error typically arises in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) in SAP, which is used for managing and monitoring interfaces.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing ECH Message: The error occurs when the system cannot find the specified ECH message in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The message ID or number being incorrect.
  The message not being created or configured in the system.
