  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING603 indicates that there is an issue with a calculation view in SAP HANA, specifically that an invalid column name has been referenced. This error typically arises during the authoring or execution of a calculation view when the system cannot find a column that has been specified in the view's definition.
  Cause:
  
  Column Name Typo: The column name specified in the calculation view might have a typo or incorrect casing.
  Column Does Not Exist: The column may not exist in the underlying tables or views that the calculation view is based on.

  Check Column Names: Verify that the column name specified in the calculation view matches exactly with the column names in the underlying tables or views. Pay attention to case sensitivity.

  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (like other views or tables) are also correctly defined and accessible.
