  Cause

  Missing Index Definition: The index defined in the data dictionary (DDIC) for the specified table has not been created in the underlying database.
  Transport Issues: If the table or index was transported from one system to another, the index creation might not have been executed properly.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database itself, such as corruption or misconfiguration.
  Development or Customization: If the table or index was recently modified or created in a development environment, it may not have been activated or generated correctly.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Index Definition:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the table and the index. Ensure that the index is defined correctly.

  Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue is related to transport, ensure that the transport request containing the index definition has been imported into the target system. You may need to re-import or check the transport logs for errors.
