  Database Synchronization Issues: Sometimes, the database and the ABAP Dictionary can become out of sync due to manual changes in the database or issues during system upgrades.
  
  
  Incorrect Database Connection: If the system is pointing to the wrong database or schema, it may not find the expected objects.
