What causes this issue?

When deleting a long-term temporary assignment for employee &V1& in the
period &V2& the system was unable to delete all cost assignments in
infotype 0027. Possible causes are that the records to be deleted have
been changed manually; there is more than one cost center assigned;
and/or the first cost center does not receive 100% of the costs.
The "long-term temporary assignments" function only creates IT0027
records with one cost center, which is debited with 100% of the costs,
and deletes only these records. Other records must have been created or
changed manually.
Message regarding deletion: &V3&

How to fix this error?

that they are consistent with the new situation.
