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

How to fix this error?

If you want to enforce COGS split for this process you can use Business
Add-Ins (BAdI) for COGS split.
You can implement BAdI FCO_COGS_SPLIT_RELEVANCE to update the decision

BAdI FCO_COGS_SPLIT_BASIS enables you to use a different basis for split
and so update the default basis.
