  Cause:
  
  Missing Change Indicator: The error arises when a custom field is defined in a structure but does not have an associated change indicator. Change indicators are necessary for tracking changes to fields in certain contexts, especially when integrating with other systems or modules.
  Custom Development: If custom fields were added to standard SAP structures without properly implementing the necessary change indicators, this error can occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the integration settings or the data model that prevent the system from recognizing changes to the custom field.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Add Change Indicator: 
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and locate the structure mentioned in the error message.
  Check if the custom field is defined correctly and ensure that a change indicator is added for that field.
  If the field is part of a custom structure, you may need to modify the structure to include the change indicator.
  
  
  
  Adjust Custom Development: 
  
  If the custom field was added through a custom development, ensure that the development follows SAP best practices, including the proper handling of change indicators.
  Review the code or configuration that interacts with the custom field to ensure it is correctly implemented.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings: 
  
  Review the integration settings related to the Purchase Order processing to ensure that they are correctly configured to handle custom fields.
  Ensure that any relevant BAPIs or IDocs are updated to include the custom field and its change indicator.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the integration works as expected.
