This error typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly in modules related to loans, credit management, or financial services.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Borrower ID: The borrower ID you are trying to access does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or an incorrect ID being used.

  Solution:
  
  Verify Borrower ID: Double-check the borrower ID you are using. Ensure that it is entered correctly and corresponds to an existing record in the system.
  Check Borrower Records: Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to search for the borrower in the system. If the borrower does not appear, it may not exist.
  Review Data Deletion/Archiving: If the borrower was recently deleted or archived, consult with your SAP administrator or data management team to see if the record can be restored.
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to access borrower records. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your authorizations.
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you suspect a configuration issue, review the relevant settings in the SAP system or consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant.
