What does the following error mean: "The input file includes 1 MaterialProperty:PhaseChange objects but the conduction finite difference algorithm is not used anywhere."

I am testing PCM on EnergyPlus and I ran into an error that says:

The input file includes 1 MaterialProperty:PhaseChange objects but the conduction finite difference algorithm is not used anywhere. * ~~~ * Previous materials will be ignored due to HeatBalanceAlgorithm choice.

What does this error mean? Does this mean the PCM was not modelled?

Thank you.
