This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a mismatch in the data structure definitions.
  Cause:
  
  Field Mismatch: The field specified in the error message (&2) does not exist in the expected structure (&1). This could be due to a typo, a change in the data model, or an incorrect configuration.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the structure definitions, the system may not recognize the field as valid.
