  The SAP error message FSH_ARUN_MSG046: Operation not possible; table does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to access a database table that is either not present in the system or has not been properly defined. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during data processing, reporting, or when executing specific transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Table: The table that the system is trying to access does not exist in the database. This could be due to a missing installation or configuration.
