How to fix this error?

When the local currencies of the investee units of the direct and
indirect activities differ, consolidation of investments needs the
acquisition date for indirect activities that are triggered by a direct
acquisition. If no date is specified, the system automatically
determines a default value. When processing a first consolidation at the
beginning of the period, this value is set to the first calendar day of
the posting period of the activity. Otherwise, this value is set to the
last calendar day of the posting period.
