What causes this issue?

The system did not find the official region coding for region &V1& of
the country with country key &V2&. The official region coding may
deviate from the region keys you are using in the SAP system.
Therefore, you have to assign a new code to the internally used region
codes according to the official coding. The system did not find the
official coding and could thus not assign a new code.

System Response

The system issues an error message.

How to fix this error?

Maintain the official region coding for country key &V2& and region
&V1& in <DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUOLSDREGI>Customizing</>.
Maintain the official code even if internally defined and officially
prescribed region codings are identical!

How can this happen?

You want to create a Portuguese INTRASTAT declaration and have to enter
the "Algarve" region. In the SAP system, you are working with the "AV"
key for Algarve. According to the official coding, however, you have to
enter code "50".
