  The SAP error message RSAU504 indicates that a specific InfoObject is not included in the communication structure of a DataSource. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to load data from a DataSource into an InfoProvider, and the system cannot find the specified InfoObject in the expected structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject specified in the error message is not part of the communication structure of the DataSource.

  Changes in InfoObjects: If there have been recent changes to the InfoObjects or the DataSource, such as adding or removing fields, it may lead to this error.
  DataSource Activation: The DataSource may not be activated after changes were made.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Communication Structure:
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system (transaction code RSA1).
  Check the communication structure of the DataSource to ensure that the InfoObject mentioned in the error message is included.
