This error typically occurs in the context of data transfer processes, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or during data extraction and loading processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transfer Structure: The primary cause of this error is that the transfer structure for the specified segment (indicated by &1) has not been defined or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Segment Name: The segment name provided may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Transport Issues: If the transfer structure was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated in the target system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the data source or the InfoSource that is supposed to use the transfer structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transfer Structure: Verify if the transfer structure for the specified segment exists in the ROOSGENSEG table. You can do this by executing a query in the SAP database or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
  Create or Recreate Transfer Structure:

  Check Segment Name: Ensure that the segment name you are using is correct. Double-check for any typos or discrepancies.
  Transport Check: If the transfer structure was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported. If not, you may need to re-transport it.
