System Response

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?

Set the comparability flag in the view cluster header entry, using the
possible entries function (F4).
If the view cluster has individual routines (events), you must check
whether the modifications affect the automatic compare and the dialog
compare, using the compare criteria catalog in the help for transaction
"Generate table maintenance dialog" (SE54).
Prerequisites
The comparability flag must be set for all tables/views in the view
cluster, otherwise the flag for the view cluster cannot be set.
The table/view with the weakest compare support determines the
comparability of the view cluster. If a view is "not comparable", the
entire view cluster is "not comparable"; if a view is only "comparable
in dialog", the view cluster is at most "comparable in dialog".
