What causes this issue?

Business area management is active.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

You are attempting to perform a results analysis operation that
accesses data in two different business areas. You have the following
options:
Summarize the planning data below the object and compare it with the
actual costs that have already been settled to the object.
In this case the system ignores any actual costs that have been
assigned to the object being summarized but not yet settled.
Summarize the planning data and actuals below the object.
This will include all the actuals and is purely for informational
purposes. To prevent the summarized actual costs from being transferred
to Financial Accounting, you must select a results analysis version in
which the indicator <LS>Financial Accounting</> is not turned on.
