How to fix this error?

1. You enter the missing data.
You have to enter at least one inspection stage. However, an inspection
stage change can only be maintained if at least two inspection stages
have been entered.
2. You set the blocking indicator and save the modification rule.
To go to the previous screen, select F3. After you have entered the
blocking indicator in this screen, select F5 again.
Now you can save the dynamic modification rule, although you did not
maintain any inspection stages. A modification rule for which the
blocking indicator is set cannot be used in an inspection plan.
