This typically occurs in scenarios involving data mapping, such as in SAP Data Services or SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Not in Context: The field you are trying to map or reference (&1) does not exist in the context of the object (&2) you are working with. This could be due to:
  
  The field being incorrectly named or misspelled.
  The field not being included in the data structure or context you are working with.
  The context being incorrectly defined or not properly set up.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping Logic: The mapping logic may be incorrectly defined, leading to an attempt to access a field that is not available in the current context.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Names: Verify that the field name (&1) is spelled correctly and matches the field names defined in the context (&2).

  Update Mapping Logic: If the mapping logic is incorrect, update it to ensure that it correctly references fields that are part of the context.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the mapping again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the context or field definitions, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or data model documentation for guidance.
