  The SAP error message AQV311, which states "Functional area not of type table join," typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or when working with InfoSets in SAP. This error indicates that the functional area you are trying to use is not defined as a table join, which is necessary for the query to function correctly.
  Cause:
