  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_SBMG041 Package '&1' does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when the system is unable to find a specified package. This can happen for various reasons, such as misconfiguration, missing transport requests, or issues with the package itself.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Package: The package specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP system.
  Transport Issues: The package may not have been transported correctly from the development environment to the quality or production environment.
