  The SAP error message GLBP004 indicates that the system is unable to find the GLFLEXT summary table for the specified ledger. This error typically arises in the context of General Ledger (G/L) accounting when the system is trying to access or process data related to a specific ledger that does not have the necessary summary table created or available.
  Cause:
  
  Missing GLFLEXT Table: The GLFLEXT table, which stores summary data for the General Ledger, may not have been created for the specified ledger.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly related to the ledger setup.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes in the ledger structure, the summary table may not have been generated correctly.
