    3. Field Not Defined: The field may not have an associated input help defined in the underlying table or structure.
    4. Custom Development Issues: If there are custom programs or enhancements, they might not be correctly implemented, leading to ambiguity in input help.

      • Check the function modules or methods that are being called for input help.
    4. Consult Documentation:
