What causes this issue?

When defining line item tables, you have to enter the modified key
fields of the object table as value fields (data fields). The data
fields of the line item table are structured so that each key field of
the object table has the letter 'S' at the beginning of the name.
Example: BUKRS in the object table -> SBUKRS in the line item table.
The error could be due to the following:
a) Field &V1& is not 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&.
d) The domain of field &V1& is not called &V4&.
