  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Component Definition: The component that is supposed to be part of the relationship defined by the key &1 is not defined in the system. This could happen if the component was deleted or never created.
  
  
  Incorrect Relationship Configuration: The relationship itself may be incorrectly configured, leading to a reference to a non-existent component.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the database tables that manage these relationships.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the component, leading to the appearance that it does not exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Component Definition:
  
  Verify that the component referenced in the relationship actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant master data (like Material Master or BOM).

  Data Consistency Check:

  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the components involved in the relationship. You can check this in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Component:
