    The SAP error message 37526, which states "Field &1 does not exist in (active version of) table &2," typically occurs when there is an attempt to access a field in a database table that does not exist in the current active version of that table. This can happen for several reasons, including changes in the database schema, missing fields due to a transport issue, or incorrect references in custom code or configurations.

    Causes:

    1. Field Removal: The field in question may have been removed from the table in a recent update or modification.

    3. Update Custom Code: If the error is due to custom ABAP code, update the code to reference the correct field or handle the absence of the field appropriately.
    4. Consult Documentation: If the error arose after an upgrade or patch, consult the release notes or documentation to see if there were any changes to the table structure.
