This typically occurs when you are trying to update a delivery document using an OData service, and the system cannot find the specified custom fields in the delivery header.
  Causes:
  
  Field Definition Issues: The custom fields may not be properly defined in the data model of the OData service.
  Service Registration: The OData service may not be registered correctly, or the custom fields may not be included in the service definition.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or update the custom fields.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., adding or removing fields), the OData service may not be updated accordingly.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions:

  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and update the custom fields. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
