  The SAP error message GR488 typically indicates that a report or program you are trying to access or execute does not exist in the specified target library or system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to run a report, access a transaction, or execute a program that has not been properly transported or is missing from the target environment.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo in the report name or transaction code you are trying to access.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the report, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
