  The table was deleted or dropped.
  There is a typo in the table name in the configuration or code.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the planning application or model may reference a table that is not correctly set up.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the system was recently updated or transported from another environment, the table may not have been included in the transport.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the table, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
