How To Fix DPR_PARTICIPANT132 - Customizing change: Distribution is not up-to-date

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DPR_PARTICIPANT - Roles: Messages

• Message number: 132

• Message text: Customizing change: Distribution is not up-to-date

What causes this issue?

The settings in Customizing were changed so that the role now no longer
supports distribution. This means that the individual values of the
demand that were distributed are totaled up to make a total demand.
However, because you currently have the project open in display mode or
because the role is locked by another user, the system cannot determine
the total demand and the role still displays the demand as distributed
over periods.

System Response

If it is possible to lock the data or if you work in change mode next
time, the system automatically updates the distribution when you save.

How to fix this error?

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