This error typically occurs in the context of data selection or processing where certain key fields are required for the operation to proceed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Input Fields: Ensure that all required key fields are filled in before executing the transaction or report. Review the selection screen for any fields that are marked as mandatory.
  Review Program Logic: If you are a developer or have access to the program code, check the logic that handles the selection criteria. Ensure that it properly validates the input and handles cases where key fields are empty.
