This message typically arises in the context of demand planning and supply chain management, particularly when there are changes in the planning data that necessitate a recalculation of dependent demand.
  Cause:
  
  Data Changes: The error can occur when there are changes in the planning data, such as changes in the forecast, sales orders, or production orders that affect the dependent demand calculations.
  Planning Version: If the planning version is being changed or if there are inconsistencies in the planning data, it may trigger this recalculation.
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data, such as incorrect or missing information in the material master or BOM (Bill of Materials), can also lead to this error.
  System Performance: In some cases, system performance issues or locks on the relevant data can cause delays in recalculating dependent demand.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Changes: Review any recent changes made to the planning data that could have triggered the recalculation. Ensure that all relevant data is accurate and up-to-date.

  System Performance: If the issue is related to system performance, consider checking for any locks on the data or optimizing the system performance.
  Reprocess the Demand: If the recalculation is taking too long or seems to be stuck, you may need to manually trigger a reprocessing of the demand or restart the planning run.
