This error typically occurs in the context of SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) when working with the BOL framework, which is used for data handling in SAP applications.
  Cause:

  Custom Development: If there have been custom developments or modifications to the BOL model, it may have inadvertently removed or not included the IT_PREF node.
  Transport Issues: If the BOL model was transported from one system to another, the IT_PREF node may not have been included in the transport request.
