What causes this issue?

Before specification &V1& can be migrated to a more specific
contributing scenario, the scenario needs to be classified. For this
purpose, the active value assignment instance of value assignment type
<ZH>Use and Exposure Scenario</> (SAP_EHS_1027_001) is analyzed based on
the following rules:
If the <ZH>Article Category</> (SAP_EHS_1027_001_ARC) or <ZH>Product
Category</> (SAP_EHS_1027_001_PC) attribute is assigned a value, the
scenario is classified as contributing scenario <ZH>Consumer</>.
If the <ZH>Environmental Release Category</> (SAP_EHS_1027_001_ERC)
attribute is assigned a value, the scenario is classified as
contributing scenario <ZH>Environment</>.
If the <ZH>Process Category</> (SAP_EHS_1027_001_PROC) attribute is
assigned a value, the scenario is classified as contributing scenario
<ZH>Worker</>.
For specification &V1&, one of these rules does not exactly apply, which
means classification cannot be carried out.

System Response

Migration of specification &V1& to a more specific contributing scenario
is not carried out.

How to fix this error?

Change the value assignment of the active value assignment instance so
that exactly one of the rules above applies.
