What causes this issue?

Changing the value of &V1& for a pricing procedure may influence
existing documents. You should consider the following points:
When this field is changed in cases where prices of an existing document
are recalculated, the value of the condition may change. This can lead
to a different price, discount, surcharge, tax, and so on.
The following requirements must be fulfilled for the price of an
existing document to change:
The condition type is part of a pricing procedure.
This pricing procedure is used in an existing document.
A repricing of this document has been triggered.
The determined value of a condition needs to be different before and
after the repricing.

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

For the following fields, please consider the consequences of changing a
value. The stated examples make no claims for completeness and do not
include all cases that may influence the pricing result and may need to
be considered.
Condition Type
A change of the condition type results in a different determined
condition record, which may affect the pricing result. Missing condition
types will lead to a loss of the conditions in existing documents.
From
A change of the reference step changes the base value that is used for
this pricing procedure step. With a different base value, the calculated
value may change.
To
A change of the reference step changes the base value that is used for
this pricing procedure step. With a different base value, the calculated
value may change.
Manual
A condition which is flagged as manual in a pricing procedure will not
be found automatically by the system but has to be entered manually.
Note: Changing this flag will also affect existing documents if a
pricing recalculation triggered. E.g. if the flag is set, a condition
record might no longer be found automatically, if the flag is removed,
additional records might appear.
Requirement
The requirement formula determines if a condition is considered for
calculation, which may lead to a different pricing result.
Print Type
The print type controls if and how a line of the pricing result is
printed. Note: Any change will take effect during the next print run and
will also apply to existing documents.
Condition Subtotal
Controls whether and in which fields condition amounts or subtotals are
stored. This may result in a change of the value of another condition.
Consider the usage of subtotal fields in analytics, which may become
inconsistent.
Condition is Used for Statistics
If a pricing procedure step is set to statistical, the step will not
influence the pricing result. Its value will not be factored into the
net value.
Condition Formula for Alternative Calculation Type
Defines an alternative formula for calculation, which may lead to a
different value. This also leads to different results in existing
documents.
Alternative Formula for Condition Base Value
Defines an alternative formula for calculating the condition base value,
which may lead to a different value. This also leads to different
results in existing documents.
Condition is Mandatory
If a condition that was not mandatory before is set to mandatory, a
condition value will need to be maintained for repricing, which may
change the pricing result. Existing documents may become incomplete,
resulting in a pricing error.
Statistical and Relevant for Account Determination
Defines whether a statistical price condition is relevant for account
determination:
If you deselect the indicator, the statistical price condition is not
posted as journal entry to an extension ledger of Financial Accounting
anymore, which might lead to inconsistencies.
If you select the indicator and you have also selected the <LS>Accruals
</>indicator for a condition type, the <LS>Relevant for Account
Determination</> indicator overrides the <LS>Accruals</> indicator.
