What causes this issue?

The total of the percentage rates for counting classes that are filled
without referencing a day rule is less than &V1&.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Counting classes should cover &V1& of an absence. Otherwise, there can
be inconsistencies when the counting classes are evaluated in the
factoring block (schema xAL0). (If there are other counting classes
that reference day rules, guaranteeing that the absence is &V1& percent
covered, no further action is required.)
Check the other uses of the filled counting classes and modify the
percentage rates if necessary.
