  The SAP error message G0305 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a value column in a report or a data entry screen. Specifically, it means that the system is trying to use a column that is designated for comparison purposes as a value column, which is not allowed.

  A column that is intended to be used for comparison (e.g., a column that is meant to hold values for comparison against other values) is mistakenly set up or used as a value column where actual data entry is expected.
