Specifically, the error states that the "Lower threshold fixed value must be empty with threshold method." This typically occurs when you are trying to set a lower threshold for a KPI using a method that does not allow for a fixed value.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Configuration: You have configured a KPI with a threshold method that does not support fixed values for the lower threshold. For example, if the threshold method is set to "Percentage" or "Dynamic," the system expects the lower threshold fixed value to be empty.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check KPI Configuration:

  Adjust Threshold Method:
  
  If you need to use a fixed lower threshold, consider changing the threshold method to one that supports fixed values (if applicable).
  Review the documentation for the specific threshold methods available in your version of SAP APO to understand their requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the configuration and test the KPI to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
