  The SAP error message BRF137 ("Field &2 missing in table &1") typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when there is an attempt to access a field in a table that does not exist or is not defined correctly. This can happen during rule execution or when trying to create or modify rules.
  Cause:
  
  Field Definition Issues: The field specified in the error message (&2) is not defined in the table (&1). This could be due to a typo, a missing field in the database schema, or a misconfiguration in the BRF+ application.
  Table Structure Changes: If the underlying database table structure has changed (e.g., fields were added or removed), and the BRF+ rules were not updated accordingly, this error can occur.

  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is coming from, you can use the BRF+ trace functionality to identify which rule or decision table is causing the issue.
