Steps to recreate:

  1. Create an item with two differentiator (diff) groups assigned and enable the flag "Item aggregate" at style level and for one diff group
  2. Create a size profile for this item
  3. Create an allocation for the item
  4. Notice, the Allocation Status is "Calculation Error"
