How To Fix FIN_CS_MESSAGE133 - You have changed the version relationship for &1 -> &2 (RC &3).

FIN_CS_MESSAGE133 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FIN_CS_MESSAGE - Cloud Consolidation Message Class

• Message number: 133

• Message text: You have changed the version relationship for &1 -> &2 (RC &3).

What causes this issue?

A version can refer to another version. In this case the version extends
the other version. However, once a version is used in a consolidation
process, the relationship between versions cannot be changed.
Even an indirect change is not allowed.
Example: You have specified version A, where A refers to B, and B refers
to C. If version A is used in a consolidation process, and the
relationship between A and C is stored, the relationship must not be
changed.
In this case, version &v1& refers (directly or indirectly) to &v2& and
the version is used in a consolidation process.
However, the current configuration does not contain this relation
anymore. This leads to a change in the relationship, which is not
allowed in the extension concept.
