  The SAP error message R9E979 indicates that a field (or component) was added to a structure but does not exist in the structure definition. This typically occurs during the development or modification of data structures in ABAP programs or when working with data dictionary objects.

  Field Addition: A field was added to a structure in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or in a program, but the structure was not activated or saved properly.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: There may be inconsistencies between the data dictionary and the program code, especially if the structure was modified after the program was already compiled.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was modified in one system and the changes were not transported correctly to another system, it could lead to this error.
  Versioning Issues: If the program is referencing an older version of the structure that does not include the new field.
  
  Solution:
  
  Activate the Structure: Go to transaction SE11, find the structure in question, and ensure it is activated. If it is not activated, activate it and check if the error persists.
  Check Program Code: Review the ABAP program or function module that is using the structure. Ensure that it is referencing the correct version of the structure.
  Transport Requests: If the structure was modified in a development environment, ensure that the changes have been properly transported to the quality or production environment.
