  The SAP error message RSANA_UMM_API313 indicates that there is an issue with a field being specified using a signature that does not exist. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's data extraction or reporting processes, particularly when using the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA systems.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Signature Mismatch: The error usually arises when a field in a data model or query is referenced incorrectly. This could be due to:
  
  The field being deleted or renamed in the underlying data source.
  A mismatch between the field definitions in the data model and the actual data source.
  Changes in the data structure that have not been reflected in the reporting layer.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the data model or query was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies in the field definitions.
  
  
  Data Source Configuration: The data source may not be properly configured, or the extraction process may not have been set up correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions: Verify that the field in question exists in the data source and that its signature matches what is expected in the data model or query. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant data source or InfoObject in the SAP BW or HANA modeling environment.
  Ensuring that the field is correctly defined and has not been altered.
  
  
  
  Update Queries: If the field has been renamed or removed, update any queries or reports that reference this field to reflect the current data model.
  
  
  Re-activate Data Models: If changes have been made to the data model, re-activate the affected data models or queries to ensure that they are in sync with the underlying data source.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate problems with the data model or field definitions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional context or updates that may address the issue.
