  The SAP error message RSR_REPORT_CHECK020 indicates that a filter value for a characteristic in a report no longer exists in the master data. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a query is executed, and the system cannot find the specified filter value in the underlying master data.
  Cause:
  
  Master Data Deletion: The filter value that was previously available in the master data has been deleted or is no longer valid.
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during the data load process that resulted in the filter value not being updated or loaded correctly.
  Changes in Data Model: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to InfoObjects or characteristics, can lead to inconsistencies.
  Incorrect Filter Settings: The filter settings in the query may be incorrectly configured, pointing to a value that does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Verify the master data for the characteristic in question. Ensure that the filter value exists in the master data table.
  
  You can do this by using transaction codes like RSD1 (to check InfoObjects) or RSA1 (to check the data model).
  
  
  
  Data Load: If the master data is missing the required filter value, check the data load process to ensure that it has been executed successfully and that the data is up to date.
  
  You may need to re-execute the data load process for the relevant InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Update Queries: If the filter value is no longer relevant, consider updating the query to remove or modify the filter condition.
  
  You can do this in the Query Designer by adjusting the filter settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or InfoObjects, ensure that all related objects are consistent and that the query is aligned with the current data structure.
  
  
  Re-activate InfoObjects: If necessary, you can try re-activating the InfoObjects related to the characteristic to refresh the metadata.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs related to the data model to understand if any changes could have led to the issue.
