Welcome Aboard

Most of the errors that developers encounter have been covered here before. This site has a search facility which is very robust and helpful. Do an exact search on keywords 'Mismatch in number of column'.

What do you mean by "NOR REQUIRED"?

The message indicates that a particular column is not in its expected position. This might be a failure in generating ABAP code (check the code), a rogue row in the table (check the table) or a metadata mismatch in your job design. Because it works sometimes I think we can rule out the last of these.
