What causes this issue?

Further time characteristics in addition to the characteristic used as
the exception aggregation reference characteristic of a stock coverage
key figure might affect a stock coverage key figure. To be able to
calculate meaningful values for the stock coverage key figure, these
time characteristics need to be consistent with the exception
aggregation reference characteristic of a stock coverage key figure.
A characteristic can have an impact on a key figure for different
reasons:
The characteristic is in the drilldown
A filter has been defined on the characteristic
The characteristic is a reference characteristic of an exception
aggregation on a formula containing the key figure
A way to check for the consistency of two time characteristics is to
check the consistency of the time dimension of the InfoProvider. The
consistency of the time dimension cannot be checked for InfoProvider
&V1& however.
