How to fix this error?

Specify the characteristic <DS:DE.FC_REF_RYEAR>reference fiscal year</>
or select the fiscal year for each cell as follows:
RESET N1
If the report is based on a form, you can specify the year globally in
the General Data Selection. However, if this is too specific, for
example if you want to compare years, you can also specify the year per
cell.
You can also specify the year in the report itself instead of in the
form. Only this option is available for basic reports.
If the fiscal year is entered ambiguously, the determination of the
composition of the consolidation group uses for each cell the highest
year specified.
