This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specific data view that is expected to be present in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Data View: The specified data view (indicated by &1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created, being deleted, or being incorrectly named.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data view.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration problems in the APO system that prevent the data view from being recognized.
  Transport Issues: If the data view was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data View Existence:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP1 for Demand Planning) and check if the data view exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
