  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Condition ID: The condition ID specified in the query does not exist or is not defined correctly in the query definition.
  Data Source Issues: The data source or InfoProvider that the query is based on may not have the necessary characteristics or key figures defined.
  Query Definition Changes: If the query was modified or if the underlying data model has changed (e.g., InfoObjects were deleted or renamed), it can lead to this error.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer and verify that the condition ID (I_CONDID) is correctly defined.

  Recreate the Condition:
  
  If the condition is missing or incorrect, you may need to recreate it in the query definition.
