What causes this issue?

Revenue Accounting generates fulfillments for a time-based performance
obligation with start date type 1: <ZK>Available on Creation of
Performance Obligation</> or type 2: <ZK>Available After Creation of
Performance Obligation</> when a contract is created. This means that
Revenue Accounting does not allow time-based performance obligations
with start date type 1 or 2 to be at different levels of a BOM
structure. However, performance obligation &v1& and performance
obligation &v2& are both time-based performance obligations with start
date type 1 or 2.
