  The SAP error message D4660, which states "Object &1 does not exist on the database," typically indicates that the system is trying to access a database object (such as a table, view, or other database entity) that cannot be found in the database. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Object Deletion: The object may have been deleted or dropped from the database.
  Incorrect Object Name: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the code or configuration that references the object.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from one system to another, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Database Connection Issues: There may be issues with the database connection, causing the system to be unable to access the object.
  Namespace Issues: The object might exist in a different namespace or client, and the system is looking in the wrong place.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check the database directly (using transaction SE11 for tables, SE12 for data dictionary objects) to confirm whether the object exists.
  Check for Typos: Review the code or configuration that references the object to ensure there are no typographical errors.
  Transport Check: If the object was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was completed successfully and that the object is activated in the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. This can be checked using transaction SU53 or SUIM.
  Database Connection: Verify that the database connection is active and functioning correctly. Check for any connection errors in the system logs.
  Namespace and Client Check: Ensure that you are looking in the correct namespace and client. If the object is client-specific, make sure you are in the right client.
