How to fix this error?

Usually, it is advisable to post the provisions for accrued income.
However, you should post these to a separate account, which is not
managed via Subsequent Settlemnet (not automatically dissolved on
settlement).
Otherwise, in the case of a goods receipt for a condition (arrangement)
that has already been settled, a posting would be made to the account
fo provisions for accrued income, and this could not be balanced out by
the settlement program.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to assign the provisions for accrued
income to the arrangement created as a result of extension.
