Profitability Analysis is not active

What causes this issue?

You have tried to create a <DS:GLOS.distribution_rule>distribution
rule</> for a <DS:GLOS.profitability_segment>profitability segment</>.
However, <DS:GLOS.Profitability_Analysis>profitability analysis</> is
not active.

How to fix this error?

Choose a different <DS:GLOS.account_assignment_category>account
assignment category</> that allows "profitability segment" as a
receiver.
To be able to settle to profitability segments, you must have activated
profitability analysis. If you do not want to settle to profitability
segments, you should change the <DS:GLOS.settlement_profile>settlement
profile</>, so that "profitability segment" is no longer allowed as a
receiver.
