  The SAP error message 8B359 indicates that there is an issue with the subsequent indicator for a Nota Fiscal (a Brazilian tax document) in the SAP system. This error typically arises when there are duplicate subsequent indicators for the same Nota Fiscal, which is not allowed as each Nota Fiscal must have a unique subsequent indicator.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Subsequent Indicators: The most common cause of this error is that the subsequent indicator you are trying to assign to a Nota Fiscal already exists for that particular document.

  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to the same subsequent indicator being assigned to multiple entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Subsequent Indicators: Review the existing Nota Fiscal entries to ensure that the subsequent indicator you are trying to use is not already assigned to another Nota Fiscal.
  Use a Unique Subsequent Indicator: If the subsequent indicator is already in use, you will need to select a different, unique subsequent indicator for the Nota Fiscal you are processing.
  Review Configuration Settings: If you suspect that the issue is related to configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant to review the settings related to Nota Fiscal processing.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your data entry process to prevent duplicate subsequent indicators from being assigned in the future.
