What causes this issue?

In this configuration model, the instance on a lower BoM level was
explicitly transmitted, but it was not part of the configuration result.
The explicit transmission is interpreted as the expectation that the
instance is active after saving the configuration.

System Response

The system detected this situation, locked the configuration and
communicated the error to further processes, which might have stopped
committing the configuration to the database.

How to fix this error?

Please verify:
1. The transmitted valuations are correct.
2. Transmitted instances<(>,<)> that are expected to be inactive<(>,<)>
are not transmitted explicitly.
3. The configuration model behaves as expected and all Master Data,
especially Characteristics, Object Dependencies and Bill of Materials,
are maintained for the configuration to be consistent.

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