How to fix this error?

There are two options:
In IMG activity <DS:SIMG.V_ACAC_OT_NR_ASS>Assign Number Ranges to Object
Categories</> set the indicator "Self-Defined" for the affected accrual
object category.
This option will work in any case. "Self-Defined" means that any number
is allowed to be used as accrual object number.
For example numbers that contain special characters like /, - or letters
like A, B, C etc. are allowed if you set the "Self-Defined" indicator.
In IMG activity <DS:SIMG.FIGL_ACAC_NUMBOBJ_DC>Define Number Ranges for
Accrual Objects</> set the indicator <ls>External</>.
This option is only applicable if the accrual object number falls into
the interval defined by the From- and To-number.
For example, if the accrual object number contains characters like /, -
or letters this number wil not be accepted by the system.
