• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT130 - Import field &2 was not found in data source variant &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT130 Import field &2 was not found in data source variant &1 typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the fields defined in a data source variant and the fields that are being referenced in the import process. This can happen in various contexts, such as during data extraction, reporting, or data loading processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Mismatch: The field specified in the error message (&2) does not exist in the data source variant (&1). This could be due to:
  
  The field being removed or renamed in the data source.
  The data source variant being outdated or not properly configured.
  A typo in the field name or variant name.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The data source variant may not have been properly set up to include all necessary fields.
  
  
  Changes in Data Source: If there have been recent changes to the underlying data source (like a change in the database structure), the variant may not reflect these changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Source Variant:
  
  Go to the transaction where the data source variant is defined (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing).
  Verify that the field &2 is included in the data source variant &1.
  If the field is missing, you may need to add it to the variant.
  
  
  
  Update the Variant:
  
  If the data source has changed, update the variant to reflect the current structure of the data source.
  Ensure that all necessary fields are included in the variant.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Variant:
  
  If the variant is corrupted or not functioning as expected, consider recreating it from scratch.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Double-check the names of the fields and the variant for any typographical errors.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand if there have been recent changes to the data source that could affect the variant.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the import process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure of the data source.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify data source variants.
