take account of at least two apportionment units. The system is
therefore attempting to determinate an option rate using the
alternative apportionment factor. Since no data has been entered for
the apportionment unit, the system cannot calculate the option rate
using an apportionment unit.

apportionment unit to the settlement unit for determining the option
