  The SAP error message PACKAGE_BUILDER01602 indicates that a specific package (denoted as &1) does not exist in the specified system (&2). This error typically arises in the context of package management or transport management within SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Package: The package you are trying to access or manipulate does not exist in the specified system. This could be due to a typo in the package name or because the package has not been created or transported to the target system.
  Transport Issues: If the package was supposed to be transported from another system (like Development to Quality Assurance), it may not have been included in the transport request or the transport request may not have been successfully imported.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the package, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Package Name: Double-check the package name you are using. Ensure that it is spelled correctly and matches the package name in the system.
  Check Package Existence: Use transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Package Builder) to check if the package exists in the system. If it does not, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  Transport the Package: If the package is supposed to exist but does not, check the transport requests in the source system to ensure that the package was included and that the transport was successfully imported into the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the package. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  Consult Documentation: If the package is part of a standard SAP delivery or a third-party solution, consult the relevant documentation to ensure that it should exist in your system.
