  Causes:
  
  View Not Created: The view may not have been created in the database. This can happen if the installation or upgrade process was incomplete or if the view was deleted accidentally.
  Transport Issues: If the view was part of a transport request that was not successfully imported, it may not exist in the target system.

  Check View Existence: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the view exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or restore it from a transport.
  Recreate the View: If the view is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can involve running specific programs or transactions that generate the view based on existing tables.
