  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC_BO_AS001 Context &1 does not exist in database tables typically indicates that the system is trying to access a context or object that is not present in the relevant database tables. This error is often related to authorization checks or access control mechanisms within the SAP system, particularly in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Context: The specified context (denoted by &1) does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The context was never created.
  The context was deleted or not properly configured.
  There is a mismatch in the context name being referenced.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified context, leading to the system not being able to find it.
