This error is often encountered in the context of data processing or when working with custom developments, especially in the context of SAP's Business Partner or Master Data Management.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Field Name: The field name specified in the error message (&2) does not exist in the specified table (&1). This could be due to a typo, a field that has been removed or renamed, or a field that is not part of the table structure.
