  The SAP error message AZ005, which states "Field &1 does not exist in table &2," typically occurs when there is an attempt to access a field in a database table that does not exist. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data processing, report generation, or when executing a transaction.
  Causes:
  
  Field Name Typo: There may be a typographical error in the field name specified in the code or configuration.
  Table Structure Changes: The database table may have been modified (e.g., fields added or removed) after the code was written, leading to discrepancies.
  Incorrect Table Reference: The code may be referencing the wrong table, which does not contain the specified field.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport may not have included the necessary changes to the table structure.
