This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's Conversion Tools or during system migrations.
  Cause:
  
  Field Mismatch: The field specified in the error message is expected to be present in the table, but it is either missing or has been renamed in the sender system.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping configuration between the source and target systems may be incorrect, leading to references to non-existent fields.
  Version Differences: The sender system may be running a different version of SAP where the table structure has changed, resulting in the absence of the expected field.
  Custom Development: If the table has been customized or extended in the sender system, the field may not exist in the standard version of the table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Field Existence: Check the sender system to confirm whether the field &1 exists in the table &2. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to look up the table structure.
  Check Mapping Configuration: Review the mapping configuration in the migration tool or program you are using. Ensure that the field mappings are correct and that they correspond to the actual fields in the sender system.
  Update Migration Logic: If the field is indeed missing and is not required for the migration, you may need to adjust the migration logic to exclude this field or provide an alternative mapping.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for the migration tool or process you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures and that you are aware of any prerequisites or requirements.
  Engage Technical Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal technical team for assistance. They may have insights into version-specific changes or customizations that could be affecting the migration.
