  The SAP error message R7664 indicates that there is an issue with a MultiProvider that is using an InfoProvider with an invalid component. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a problem with the structure or configuration of the MultiProvider or the underlying InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Component: The error suggests that the MultiProvider is referencing a component (characteristic or key figure) that is not valid or does not exist in the specified InfoProvider.
  Changes in InfoProvider: If the structure of the InfoProvider has been changed (e.g., a characteristic was deleted or renamed), the MultiProvider may still be trying to reference the old structure.

  Ensure that all components (characteristics and key figures) are correctly defined and exist in the underlying InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Validate InfoProviders:
  
  Check the InfoProviders that the MultiProvider is using. Make sure that the components referenced in the MultiProvider are present and correctly defined in these InfoProviders.

  Rebuild or Adjust the MultiProvider:
  
  If necessary, you may need to rebuild the MultiProvider or adjust its settings to align with the current structure of the InfoProviders.
  You can also try to remove and re-add the affected InfoProvider to refresh the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
