  Cause:
  The error is caused by the selection of a report definition (which is a template or a configuration for a report) rather than the actual report that is intended to be executed.

  Identify the Correct Report: Ensure that you are selecting the correct report from the list. Look for the executable report rather than the report definition.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction Code: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code to access the report. Sometimes, users may inadvertently use a transaction that leads them to report definitions.
  
  
  Check Report Selection: If you are in a selection screen, double-check the options available. There may be a dropdown or list where you can choose the actual report.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure which report to select, refer to the documentation or help resources available for the specific module you are working with.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or system administrator for assistance. They may provide insights specific to your organization's SAP configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Review the SAP Help Portal or specific module documentation for guidance on report execution.
  User Training: If this error is common among users, consider providing training sessions to help users understand the difference between report definitions and executable reports.
