What causes this issue?

When upgrading from Release 3.x to Release 4.6C, the payroll results
for the USA and Canada have to be converted twice. To reduce
unnecessarily long runtimes, both these conversions were grouped
together in one program. Report RPU40ACL (PCL2 Conversion 3.x - 4.0)
was therefore deactivated for both clusters (RK and RU).

How to fix this error?

Release 4.6C, proceed as described in the release note 'Conversion of
Payroll Results for Out-of-Sequence Check Processing'. Note that the
conversion described in the release note must be completed before the
payroll data can be edited.
