What causes this issue?

For each object in &v1& there has to be a matching record in
CGPL_HIERARCHY with the same TOP_PROJECT_GUID. A matching
TOP_PROJECT_GUID ensures that the object is correctly linked to the
project. If there is no match than this means that there is an
inconsistency in the TOP_PROJECT_GUID.

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?

Possible solution for this problem:
Verify whether there is a inconsistency between table &v1& and table
CGPL_TASK. If this is the case then a repair should be performed. This
might already solve this error. If this is not the case then continue
with the next step.
The entry in table &v1& with key &v2& could be updated with
TOP_PROJECT_GUID &v4& from table CGPL_HIERARCHY.
