What causes this issue?

You are trying to activate the "Read upon Each Navigation Step"
indicator.

System Response

However, for technical reasons, activation of the "Read upon Each
Navigation Step" indicator is not permitted when the key figure "Balance
Sheet Value" (BILWERT) or one of the following characteristics are used:
Fin.Stat.Item (ERGSL)
FS Item/Account (SAK_PLUMI)
FS Item/Acct/FA Long (SAKFB_LONG)

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?

Since you would like to use the key figure or one of the characteristics
mentioned above, the system automatically activates the "Read All Data"
indicator.
To prevent too much data being selected at once when it is read at the
start of processing, we recommend that you include as few cha
racteristics as possible in your report.
In so doing, you ensure that you benefit from improved performance when
using the HANA database.
