  Cause:
  
  
  Deleted Structure: The error indicates that a specific ABAP Dictionary structure (denoted by &1) has been deleted from the system. This could happen due to:
  
  Manual deletion of the structure by a developer or administrator.
  A transport request that removed the structure from the system.
  Changes in the data model that led to the removal of the structure.
  
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: If the data model in MDG references a structure that no longer exists, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the structure was part of a transport request that was not properly imported or was rolled back, it could lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Structure: Verify if the structure mentioned in the error message still exists in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11). If it has been deleted, you will need to restore it.

  Recreating the structure manually in SE11.
  Importing a transport request that contains the structure if it was part of a previous transport.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: Check the transport logs to see if there were any recent changes that might have affected the structure. If a transport request was responsible for the deletion, you may need to re-import it or adjust the transport.
  
  
  Adjust Data Model: If the structure is no longer needed, you may need to adjust the MDG data model to remove references to the deleted structure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand why the structure was deleted and if it was part of a planned change.
