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

How to fix this error?

Make an entry in the structure definition with the header table as the
parent and child tables as the value you are attempting to enter for the
parent table in the next row. This enables the table relationship.
For example, if you want to enter SBOOK as the parent table and SNVOICE
as the child table, then SBOOK should be present in one of the preceding
structure definition, as shown in the table below.
Also in the example note that sequence number of preceding structure
definition SFLIGHT and SBOOK is less than
SBOOK and SINVOICE, which is a necessary condition.
Sequence Parent Table Child
