This error indicates that the system is trying to access an attribute (field) that is not defined for a specific node in the BOPF model.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Attribute Definition: The attribute specified in the error message (&1) is not defined in the node (&2) of the BOPF model.
  Incorrect Node Reference: The node being referenced may not be the correct one where the attribute is supposed to exist.

  Solution:
  
  Check BOPF Model: Verify the BOPF model definition in the BOPF transaction (e.g., /BOBF/CONF). Ensure that the attribute exists in the specified node.
