  Transport Issues: If the report was transported from one system to another, the column group may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Column Group Definition:
  
  Go to the Report Painter/Writer transaction (e.g., GRR1 for Report Painter).
  Verify that the column group exists and is correctly defined.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
