  The SAP error message KF618 indicates that a specific field (denoted as &1) is not found in the specified structure (denoted as &2). This error typically occurs during the processing of data in SAP, particularly in the context of data extraction, reporting, or data processing in various modules.
  Cause:
  
  Field Not Defined: The field you are trying to access or use in your operation is not defined in the structure you are working with. This could be due to a typo, a change in the data model, or an incorrect configuration.
  Version Mismatch: If you are using a version of a report or a program that expects a different structure than what is currently available in the system, this error can occur.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements that reference fields that have been removed or renamed, this can lead to this error.
  Data Source Changes: Changes in the underlying data source (like InfoObjects in BW) can also lead to this error if the field is no longer part of the structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definition: Verify that the field (&1) is indeed part of the structure (&2). You can do this by checking the data dictionary (SE11) for the structure definition.
  Update Code/Configuration: If the field has been removed or renamed, update any custom code or configuration that references this field to align with the current structure.
  Check for Transport Issues: If this error appeared after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that there are no missing dependencies.
  Consult Documentation: Review any recent changes in the system or documentation that might indicate changes to the data model or structure.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the program to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the issue.
