there is an error in this formula - there must be a group that matches this field

Insert a group using the OOHEAD.OACUOR field.
You cannot use a group condition on a summary (like maximum) unless the report has a group using that same field.
You can suppress the group header and footer if you want

double check that your formula is written with the correct syntax

maximum({MITTRA.MTTRDT},{OOHEAD.OACUOR})

And that you created a group using the OOHEAD.OACUOR field

For some reason, CR isn't recognizing this group, so it is likely one of those two errors.

XI should be a moot in this discussion.
try using the User Interface (UI) to create your group summary.
You already have a group (just one?) using the OACUOR field.
click on the Sigma button (Blue E)
Insert Summary box opened up
select MITTRA.MTTRDT as the field to summarize
select Maximum as the calculate this summary option
select group #1 OOHEAD.OACUOR  as your sumamry location
select OK
 
this should drop the max into your group footer.
does this work and display the correct value for your group?
