What causes this issue?

The members of the hierarchy level to which you want to change contain
both positive and negative values. The sum of these members is equal to
zero. You have changed this value and now want to distribute the value
to the corresponding members in the lower hierarchy levels.
This is not possible.

How to fix this error?

In this case, you can only disaggregate the value you entered using the
key figure view. There, you can distribute the key figure in question
(the key figure which you have changed from zero to another value) to
the members, using the function "Disaggregate row". However, the
negative values of the members are lost in doing so (as long as the sum
to be distributed is not negative as well) since the disaggregation is
done using the proportional factors maintained in your planning
hierarchy.
