This error can arise due to various reasons, including configuration issues, missing dependencies, or problems with the underlying data model.
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: The AIF configuration might be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the inability to generate the required structure.

  Check Configuration: Review the AIF configuration settings to ensure that all necessary parameters are correctly set up. This includes checking the interface configuration and ensuring that all required mappings and structures are defined.

  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP development environment, you can debug the code that generates the structure to identify any specific issues or exceptions being raised.
