What causes this issue?

When defining line-item tables, you must enter the modified key fields
of the object table as value fields (data fields) directly after the
the last key field. The value fields of the line-item table are formed
by adding the letter 'R' to each key field of the object table.
Example: BUKRS in the object table -> RBUKRS in the line-item table.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The error could be due to the following:
a) Field &V1& does not exist in the definition of table &V2&.
b) Field &V1& is defined as a key field and not as a data field.
c) Field &V1& is not at position &V3& in table &V2&.
