This error typically arises in the context of data analysis or reporting processes where the system is trying to access a table that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Table Does Not Exist: The most straightforward cause is that the table specified in the error message has not been created in the database.
  Incorrect Table Name: There may be a typo or incorrect table name specified in the transaction or program that is trying to access the table.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, the transport may have failed, or the table may not have been included in the transport request.

  Database Connection: Verify that the database connection is active and functioning correctly. You may need to consult with your database administrator if there are issues.
