  The SAP error message DT411, which states "Inconsistent search help interface &-& not inherited," typically occurs when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the definition of a search help interface in the SAP system.

  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Definition: The search help interface may not be defined consistently across different components or versions.

  Check Search Help Definition: Go to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and check the definition of the search help. Ensure that all fields and parameters are correctly defined and consistent.
  Review Inheritance: If the search help is supposed to inherit from another search help, check the parent search help to ensure it is correctly defined and that the inheritance is set up properly.
