  The SAP error message RSOS_SEARCH253 indicates that there is a problem with a JOIN condition in a query or report, specifically that the field name required for the JOIN condition is missing. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with queries or data models.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Field Definition: The field that is supposed to be used in the JOIN condition is not defined in the data source or query.

  Solution:
  
  Check Query Design: Review the query design in the Query Designer or the relevant tool to ensure that all necessary fields are included in the JOIN condition.
  Validate Data Source: Ensure that the data source being used in the query has the required fields defined. If fields are missing, you may need to adjust the data source or the query.

  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or data source, verify that the query is still valid and that all fields are correctly referenced.
