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.
