  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Data: The key you are trying to access or manipulate does not exist in the master data table. This could be due to:
  
  The record was never created.
  The record was deleted.
  There is a typo or error in the key being referenced.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the system is supposed to synchronize data from another source (like a legacy system or another SAP instance), and the synchronization has not occurred or has failed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the data, leading to the perception that the data does not exist.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the master data governance settings or the data model that prevent the system from recognizing the key.
