This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) when dealing with data models, queries, or reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Attribute: The attribute specified in the error message (&1) is not defined in the totals table (&2). This could happen if the attribute was removed or not included during the data modeling process.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as adding or removing fields, the totals table may not have been updated accordingly.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Model: Verify that the attribute exists in the totals table. You can do this by checking the data model in the SAP BW or BPC environment.
  Update Totals Table: If the attribute is missing, you may need to update the totals table to include the attribute. This can involve modifying the data model or re-generating the totals table.
  Review Query Design: Ensure that the query or report is correctly designed to reference only those attributes that exist in the totals table. Adjust the query as necessary.
  Re-activate Objects: Sometimes, re-activating the InfoObject or the data model can resolve inconsistencies. This can be done in the SAP BW transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
