indicator cannot be deselected.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that the period-end closing process has been executed for all
product cost collectors.
Then establish the cutoff period for WIP calculation or the period lock
for variance calculation.
<ZH>Note</>
Once you have set the cutoff period or the period lock for a period,
you should not withdraw it. Withdrawing the cutoff period or the period
lock can result in inconsistencies between the values shown on the
product cost collector (such as work in process or variances) and the
values calculated before the cutoff period or period lock was
withdrawn. This is because it is possible that production versions were
deleted that should have been included in the period-end closing
process for the product cost collector.
