  • What causes this issue?

    A view should be displayed for a structure. This view was generated
    by selection from a reference. Since the view was last processed,
    the reference changed.

    System Response

    The view is displayed. However, it is possible that this is no
    longer current, since the reference was changed.

    How to fix this error?

    To update view, this must be revised. Use either the structure
    maintenance transaction SO70 or, within the implementation project,
    the view management for a project. Choose the current view and
    change this. The specifications made on creation (for example, th
    selected attributes) are proposed again and you can regenerate the
    view directly. If the current view belongs to hierarchically
    dependent views, it is possible that all views for this hierarchy
    must be regenerated step by step.
