  The SAP error message /LTB/TR_UI088 User &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is unable to find a user with the specified user ID in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access a transaction, report, or application that requires user authentication.
  Cause:
  
  User ID Does Not Exist: The most straightforward cause is that the user ID specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP user master data.
  User Deactivation: The user might exist but could be deactivated or locked.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specific transaction or application.
  Incorrect User ID: There might be a typo or error in the user ID being referenced.
  System Configuration: There could be issues with the configuration of the system or the specific application that is generating the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify User ID: Check the user ID mentioned in the error message for any typos or errors.
  Check User Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check if the user exists in the system.
  If the user does not exist, you may need to create a new user using the same transaction.
  
  
  User Activation: If the user exists but is locked or deactivated, you can unlock or activate the user in SU01.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action that triggered the error. This can be checked using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate further, especially if there are configuration issues or if the user should have access but does not.
