  • What causes this issue?

    Form &V2& was changed for report &V1&. With this an entry or change was
    undertaken for a characteristic with a compound characteristic.
    However, characteristic &V3&, which was selected in the report, can
    always only be interpreted with the value of one or more other
    characteristics. In the current situation, determined by the change to
    the form, the compound characteristic for the characteristic no longer
    exists.

    System Response

    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?

    You should delete report &V1&. If you wish to have a report in the
    report portfolio again, which corresponds to the deleted one, you
    should transfer it again into the report portfolio.
    If this is too much effort, as several reports from the report
    portfolio are affected by changes to the database, it is recommended
    that you undo the changes.
