    How to fix this error?

    You can stipulate which special fields you want to be internally
    available on a permanent basis by carrying out the following activity
    in the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting: <LS>Accounts
    Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Line Items ->
    Customer Line Item Display -> Define Special Fields for
    Selecting/Finding/Sorting Data</>. This is possible for all document
    fields which are not included in structure <LS>RFPOS</>.
    This results in an increase of internally held data however, since the
    special fields for each line item in the list are stored internally.
