  The SAP error message RSDME137, which states "Field &1 not defined in model &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an issue with the data model or the InfoObject definitions. This error indicates that a specific field (represented by &1) is being referenced in a query or report, but it is not defined in the specified data model (represented by &2).
  Causes:
  
  Field Not Defined: The field you are trying to use in your query or report is not defined in the data model. This could happen if the field was removed or never added to the model.
  Model Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data model, such as changes made to the InfoObjects or the underlying data source that have not been reflected in the model.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be incorrectly designed, referencing fields that do not exist in the data model.
  Transport Issues: If the model was transported from one system to another, there might be missing objects or dependencies that were not transported correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Field Definition: Verify that the field (InfoObject) is defined in the data model. You can do this by navigating to the data model in the SAP BW or HANA modeling environment and checking the list of fields.
  Update the Model: If the field is missing, you may need to add it to the model. This can involve modifying the data model to include the necessary InfoObjects.
  Rebuild the Query: If the query is referencing fields that are not part of the model, you may need to adjust the query design to ensure it only includes fields that are defined in the model.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the model was recently transported, ensure that all necessary objects and dependencies were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport or manually adjust the model.
  Activate the Model: Sometimes, simply activating the data model can resolve inconsistencies. Make sure to activate the model after making any changes.
