Message text: Transfer prices are active; Use automatic allocation
You want to allocate costs manually, but this is only possible in
version zero.
As you are working with <DS:GLOS.transfer_price>transfer prices</>, the
allocation could be insufficient in version zero.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
If the message is an error message, execute automatic allocation.
If the message is not an error message, check if it would be better to
use automatic allocation in spite of this, as this method is not able
to include transfer prices.
In Customizing, you can change this message from an error message to a
warning, or note, or you can deactivate it altogether. In the
