    How to fix this error?

    To refer to an object, you enter the object type, set type, and object
    key:
    (Material)(300)(NR='M4711')
    The descriptions for the object type and object key are defined in the
    IMG.
    In the <LS>Define Object Types</> step, an object identifier is
    specified for each object type, which identifies the object type in
    dependency maintenance. 'Material' is the object identification for
    materials.
    In the process step <LS>Define Object Key</>, you are shown the object
    key for an object. The object key fields are also referred to by a
    particular field identification. The object key for materials is the
    material number. The material number is referred to by the field
    identification 'NR'.
    The object key can also consist of several parts, as it does for
    documents, for example:
    (Document)(017)(TYPE=DRW, VERSION=00, PART=000, NR='bmw-ca31')
    The key expressions entered must be in parentheses: (NR='M4711') or
    (TYPE=DRW, VERSION=00, PART=000, NR='bmw-ca31'). Check the parentheses
    and correct them according to the pattern shown if required.
