How to fix this error?

You can initiate calculations for entity objects by:
Using the business activities for release and setting the entity object
to <ZK>Legally active</>.
Using the toggle button <ZK>Calculation relevant status / Show all
status</> on the tab page <ZK>Caculations</>. For example, if an entity
object does not assume the system status <ZK>Calculation relevant</> and
you want to initiate the calculations, you can select the <ZK>Show all
status</> value for this button. The system will show the calculated
values, irrespective of the system statuses.
Defining the transition for system statuses to <ZK>Legally active</> and
<ZK>Calculation relevant</>, in the Customizing for
<DS:SIMG.SIMG_CMS_CAG_ACT>business activities</>. When you perform the
business activities, the system will initiate the calculations only if
the entity object assumes these system statuses.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
