This can occur for several reasons, and here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Missing Table/Structure: The specified table or structure (&1 in the error message) does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a missing installation or configuration step.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be incorrectly configured, leading to references to non-existent tables or structures.
  Transport Issues: If the table or structure was supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., development to production) and the transport failed or was not executed, it could lead to this error.
  Namespace Issues: The table or structure might be in a different namespace that is not accessible in the current context.
  Authorization Issues: The user might not have the necessary authorizations to access the table or structure, leading to the appearance that it does not exist.

  Transport Check: If the table or structure is supposed to be part of a transport request, check the transport logs to ensure it was successfully imported.
  Recreate the Table/Structure: If the table or structure is missing and you have the definition, you may need to recreate it. This should be done with caution and typically requires development access.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the application or module that is generating the error. Ensure that all necessary components are correctly set up.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table or structure. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
