  The SAP error message "01691 BAdI filter & does not exist in table IDM_BADI_FILTER" typically indicates that there is an issue with a Business Add-In (BAdI) filter that is being referenced in your SAP system. This error occurs when the system is trying to access a BAdI filter that is not defined in the IDM_BADI_FILTER table.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BAdI Filter: The specific BAdI filter that is being referenced does not exist in the IDM_BADI_FILTER table. This could be due to a configuration issue or a missing entry.
  Incorrect Configuration: The BAdI might not have been properly configured or activated in the system.

  Solution:

  Verify IDM_BADI_FILTER Table:

  Transport Request:
