  Causes:
  
  Table Structure Changes: The error may arise if there have been recent changes to the table structure (e.g., fields added or removed) that are not reflected in the application logic or data dictionary.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data in the table does not conform to the expected structure (e.g., missing mandatory fields), it can trigger this error.

  Database Issues: Corruption or issues in the underlying database can lead to problems with table structures.

  Review Custom Code: If the error is triggered by custom development, review the code to ensure it aligns with the current table structure. Adjust the code as necessary.
