This typically occurs when the system is trying to create or synchronize business partners (customers or vendors) and finds that the number ranges defined for the account group do not match the expected configuration for the grouping.
  Cause:
  
  Different Number Ranges: The account group specified in the error message has a different number range configuration than what is defined for the grouping in the system.
