  The SAP error message DT359 indicates that there is an issue with a search help interface where a specific field is not found in the specified table. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the fields defined in the search help and the actual fields present in the database table.
  Cause:
  
  Field Mismatch: The field specified in the search help interface does not exist in the underlying database table.
  Incorrect Configuration: The search help may be incorrectly configured, pointing to the wrong table or using an incorrect field name.
  Table Changes: The database table may have been altered (e.g., fields added or removed) after the search help was created, leading to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the search help was transported from one system to another, there may be discrepancies in the table definitions between the systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Existence: Verify that the field specified in the error message exists in the database table. You can do this by checking the table structure in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).

  Add the field to the table if it is required.
  Modify the search help to use a different field that exists in the table.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that the transport included all necessary objects and that the target system has the same table structure as the source system.
