• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KU355 - Field & not contained in structure & ?

  The SAP error message KU355 typically indicates that a field you are trying to use is not included in the specified structure. This error often arises in the context of configuration or data entry in SAP, particularly when dealing with custom fields or structures in modules like SAP Controlling (CO) or Financial Accounting (FI).
  Cause:
  
  Field Not Defined: The field you are trying to access or use is not defined in the structure you are working with.
  Incorrect Structure: You may be referencing the wrong structure or table that does not contain the field.
  Custom Development: If there has been custom development, the field may not have been added to the structure properly.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently modified and the changes were not transported correctly, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Structure Definition:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure definition. Ensure that the field you are trying to use is indeed part of the structure.
  
  
  
  Modify Structure:
  
  If the field is missing and should be part of the structure, you may need to modify the structure to include the field. This typically requires appropriate authorizations and should be done in a development environment first.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If the error arises from custom code (e.g., ABAP programs, user exits), review the code to ensure it references the correct structure and fields.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests have been properly released and imported into the target environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand if there were recent changes to the structure or fields.
