  The SAP error message DDUT1383 indicates that a secondary index for a specified table does not exist in the database. This can occur for various reasons, such as the index not being created, being deleted, or not being activated after a change in the data dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Index Not Created: The secondary index may not have been created in the database after the table was defined or modified.
