  The SAP error message MGV065, which states "Variable object identification is not maintained," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with variables in queries or reports. This error indicates that a variable that is expected to be defined or maintained is missing or not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Variable Definition: The variable that is being referenced in a query or report has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Variable Settings: The variable may exist, but its settings (such as the variable type, default values, or input options) are not properly configured.
  Transport Issues: If the variable was recently transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been transported correctly.

  Make sure that the variable is linked to the correct InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
