This typically occurs when you are trying to access or manipulate an entity that does not exist in the database or is not correctly defined in the system.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Non-existent Entity: The entity you are trying to access does not exist in the database.
  Incorrect Key: The key you are using to access the entity is incorrect or does not match any existing records.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be issues with data consistency, such as missing records due to deletions or data migrations.

  Configuration Issues: The entity may not be properly configured in the SADL framework.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Entity Existence:
  
  Check if the entity you are trying to access actually exists in the database. You can do this by querying the database directly or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table or view.
  
  
  
  Check Key Values:
  
  Ensure that the key values you are using to access the entity are correct. Double-check the format and values of the keys.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  If the entity should exist but does not, investigate any recent changes to the database, such as deletions or data migrations that may have affected the entity.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the entity. You can check this using transaction SU53 to see if there are any authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are using a custom entity, review the configuration in the SADL framework to ensure that it is set up correctly. This includes checking the entity definition and any associated data models.
