    The SAP error message V4220 indicates that a field specified in the context of a sales document is not found in the relevant database tables, specifically VBAK (Sales Document: Header Data) or VBKD (Sales Document: Business Data). This error typically arises during the processing of sales documents, such as when creating or modifying sales orders.

    Cause:
