What causes this issue?

You have maintained several default sets and saved the data. However,
not all default sets have been activated . This is indicated by a yellow
light. Active default sets are shown with a green light. Faulty default
sets are shown with a red light. Sets are faulty if the activation has
failed once before. This may be caused by incorrect parameters.

for the conversion process.

How to fix this error?

activate the sets by choosing <ZK>Active single set</> or <ZK>Activate
w/o check</> or <ZK>Mass Activation</>. Note that if you use
<ZK>Activate w/o check</>, incorrect sets may be saved which lead to
quantity conversion errors when goods movements are posted.

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