The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check table &V3& (transaction SE16). Find out why the record with value
&V1& and SID &V2& cannot be entered into the table. Note that there is
also a unique index in the 'SID' column. This means that each SID
appears a maximum of once.
Use transaction RSRV, test "Comparison of Number Range and Maximum SID"
for characteristic &V4&, to determine whether there is an inconsistency
between the number range object and the maximum SID. If there is an
inconsistency, you can also repair it in this transaction. If this does
not remove the problem, carry out the other master data tests in
transaction RSRV for characteristic &V4&.
