System Response

How to fix this error?

There is no generally valid solution to this problem. Different
solutions are required to correct the problem according to the release
and system in which the objects exist in multiple.
In most cases, the problem can be solved by viewing the object from the
lowest release as "correct". Objects in higher releases, with differing
GUIDs, have to be deleted using transaction RSZDELETE. You can use
RSZDELETE to delete query elements by specifying the GUID.
Inconsistencies can be checked in table RSZCOMPDIR.
The objects then have to be created again. This process copies the GUID
of the query element from the lowest release. The inconsistency is
resolved.

the same dialog box.
