  • What causes this issue?

    You are using the following fields in the add-on structure: &v2&.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    Since these fields exist in the header table and already contain values,
    they belong in the projection. Fields from the projection are
    transferred directly from the database and are available to the business
    check modules for evaluation in the analysis phase.
    Add-on fields are purely virtual fields. They do not exist in the
    database. These add-on fields are determined at runtime (-> transient
    fields).
    Caution: For technical reasons, the projection structure is included in
    the add-on structure. The add-on fields are in addition to the
    projection.
