    Cause:

    1. Field Not Defined: The field you are trying to access or use has not been defined in the specified table.
    2. Incorrect Table Name: The table name you are working with might be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to find the specified field.
    3. Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the field might not have been included in the transport request.

    5. Check Authorizations: Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the table and its fields.
