  Solutions:
  
  
  Rebuild the Index:
  
  Use transaction code SDBI to rebuild the index for the relevant condition type. This can help regenerate the index values that are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction VK11 to create or maintain condition records, which may also trigger the index update.
