  The SAP error message CNV_OR_PE_GEN013 indicates that there is an issue with an index in the context of a data conversion or migration process. Specifically, the error states that at least one field of the specified index does not exist in the specified table. This can occur during data migration activities, especially when using tools like SAP's Data Migration Workbench or during the execution of conversion programs.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Fields: The index is defined on fields that are not present in the target table. This can happen if the table structure has changed, or if the migration process is trying to reference an outdated index.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the migration might be pointing to an incorrect version of the table or index.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes to the data model (e.g., fields added or removed) and the index was not updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the system that affect the table or index, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Structure: Verify the structure of the target table (&2) to ensure that all fields referenced in the index (&1) exist. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view the table definition.
  Update Index: If the index is outdated, you may need to update or recreate the index to match the current structure of the table.
  Review Migration Configuration: Ensure that the migration configuration is correct and that it points to the right version of the table and index.
  Consult Documentation: If you are using a specific migration tool or program, consult the relevant documentation for any prerequisites or steps that may have been missed.
  Check for Custom Code: If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure that it aligns with the current data model and does not reference obsolete fields.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to check table definitions, SE14 for database utility, and SE80 for object navigator to check for related objects.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide guidance on similar errors.
  Data Migration Workbench: If you are using the Data Migration Workbench, ensure that you follow the recommended steps for data migration and that all necessary pre-checks are performed.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the migration process works as expected without further errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
