You have changed a time-dependent setting for unit &v1& with reference
to a <ZK>past period</>.
The change affects the property: &v2&

System Response

You can save this change. However, note the following restrictions:
This time-dependent change takes effect only as of the <ZK>current</>
period according to the <DS:GLOS.C41828796C82D511B1250008C784EFB1>

in the correct change periods. For more details, see <ZH>SAP Note 870911
