How to fix this error?

For report RQGAAM31, you can set up the variants in such a way that
they are automatically called up, regardless of the inspection type.
For example, variant 'I_TYP_01' stands for inspection type '01',
variant 'I_TYP_05' for inspection type '05' etc.
When you maintain the variants for the inspection types, you can
control which layout set is to be used, for example.

can activate the appropriate customer exit (enhancement QSS10001) and
with this, call up another report.
