  Solution:
  
  Check Association Definition: Review the definition of the association in the data model. Ensure that it is set up to accept parameters if you intend to filter based on those parameters.
  Modify Filter Conditions: If the association cannot accept parameters, consider modifying your filter conditions to use static values or to filter on fields that are compatible with the association.
  Update Data Model: If necessary, update the data model to create a new association that can accept parameters or adjust the existing one to accommodate the required filtering.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define associations and filter conditions in your specific version of SAP.
