  The SAP error message R7191 indicates that the master data table for a characteristic (denoted by &1) has not been generated, which leads to the termination of the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with InfoObjects and their master data.
  Causes:
  
  Master Data Not Generated: The master data for the characteristic has not been generated yet. This can happen if the characteristic is newly created or if the master data generation process has failed.
  Data Source Issues: There may be issues with the data source from which the master data is supposed to be extracted.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or generate the master data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the InfoObject settings or in the data flow that prevent the master data from being generated.
  Data Transfer Issues: Problems during the data transfer process (e.g., during ETL processes) can lead to incomplete or missing master data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Generate Master Data: 
  
  Go to the relevant InfoObject in the SAP BW system and manually trigger the master data generation process. This can usually be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Check the InfoObject settings to ensure that the master data is set to be generated.
  
  
  
  Check Data Sources: 
  
  Verify that the data source from which the master data is being pulled is correctly configured and active.
  Ensure that the data is being loaded correctly into the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:

  Check Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration of the InfoObject and ensure that all settings are correct, including the master data attributes and hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Monitor Data Transfer Processes: 
  
  Check the data transfer processes (DTPs) for any errors or warnings that may indicate why the master data is not being generated.
  Look at the logs for any failed data loads that might be affecting the master data.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Data: 
  
  If there are issues with the data load, you may need to reprocess the data load for the relevant InfoProvider.
