This error indicates that there is a missing or incorrect link to a structure that is supposed to be included in a table or another structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Structure Definition: The structure that you are trying to include may not be defined in the data dictionary.

  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included correctly.

  Transport Check:
