    2. Table Missing: The table may not exist in the sender system at all. This could be due to a misconfiguration, an incomplete installation, or a version mismatch between systems.
    3. Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in the table not being created or activated.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Existence: Verify if the table mentioned in the error message exists in the sender system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
