This can lead to issues when trying to execute reports or queries that rely on the deleted InfoObject.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of InfoObjects: The primary cause of this error is the deletion of InfoObjects (like characteristics, key figures, etc.) from the data model or InfoProvider.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to InfoProviders, can lead to references to deleted InfoObjects.
  Transport Issues: If InfoObjects were deleted in one system (like development) and not properly transported to another system (like production), it can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Deleted InfoObjects: Identify which InfoObject(s) have been deleted. You can do this by reviewing the query or report that is generating the error.
  Restore Deleted InfoObjects: If the deletion was accidental, you may need to restore the InfoObject from a backup or re-create it in the system.
  Update Queries/Reports: If the InfoObject is no longer needed, update the queries or reports to remove references to the deleted InfoObject.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all changes made in the development environment are properly transported to the production environment to maintain consistency.
  Check for Dependencies: Review any dependencies or relationships that the deleted InfoObject had with other objects and adjust accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to manage InfoObjects and check their status.
  Change Logs: Review change logs or transport logs to understand when and why the InfoObject was deleted.
  Documentation: Always maintain documentation of changes made to the data model to avoid confusion in the future.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the affected queries and reports to ensure they function correctly without the deleted InfoObject.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation and support.
