  Table Not Created: The table may not have been created in the system due to an incomplete installation or configuration of the relevant SAP module.
  Incorrect Table Name: There might be a typo or incorrect reference to the table name in the code or configuration.
  Transport Issues: If the table was supposed to be transported from another system (like a development or quality assurance system) and the transport request failed or was not executed, the table would not exist in the target system.

  Transport Request: If the table is supposed to be in the system, check the transport logs to see if there were any issues with the transport request that included the table.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
