  The SAP error message SIT2_DESIGN_TIME012, which states "Reference input structure doesn't exist in the situation scenario," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Situation Handling or SAP Business Process Management (BPM) when there is an issue with the configuration of a situation scenario.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Input Structure: The error indicates that the system is unable to find the reference input structure that is expected for the situation scenario. This could be due to:
  
  The input structure not being defined or activated in the system.
  The input structure being deleted or not properly transported from the development environment to the production environment.
  A mismatch between the expected input structure and what is actually available in the system.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the situation scenario itself, such as incorrect settings or parameters that do not align with the defined input structure.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the scenario was recently transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in missing components.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Structure: Verify that the reference input structure exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary) and checking if the input structure is defined.
  Ensuring that the structure is active and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration of the situation scenario to ensure that all parameters are set correctly and that they reference the correct input structure.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the scenario was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the relevant objects.
  
  
  Recreate Input Structure: If the input structure is missing and cannot be found, you may need to recreate it based on the specifications of the situation scenario.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific situation scenario you are working with. There may be specific requirements or known issues documented by SAP.
