What causes this issue?

You defined two rows or columns identically except for the key figure.
However, there is a connection between the two in that the first key
figure is calculated on the basis of the second with the aid of
currency translation. Therefore, both of these rows/colums cannot be
ready for simultaneous entry. This also applies to attibutes (such as
distribution keys) belonging to these key figures

System Response

The layout definition is rejected.

How to fix this error?

Set one of the two rows/columns and the associated attributes as not
ready for entry by choosing "Format".
