  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:

  Create or Rebuild Index:
  
  If the index is not created, you may need to create it. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction or by executing a background job that handles indexing.
  If the index exists but is not active, you may need to reactivate it or rebuild it. This can often be done through the administration tools provided in the SAP system.
