What causes this issue?

The files have to be processed in ascending order of the file numbers.

indicates that there is a problem.
This is not a severe problem, but it should still be resolved so that
the warning message does not occur again for each subsequent file
retrieval.

System Response

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 the file numbers received with the status of the file counter in
tabel T5D4U for this combincation of data type, sender company number,
and company number of receiving office.
Apparently, the receiving office returns one ore more files that,
according to the file counter, were already processed in the system.
This indicates a problem with the confirmation of the files that were
originally received.
Call the report for this combination once and select the Confirm
Notifications That Have Been Processed option. The files that have
already been processed are not processed again, but they are at least
included in the confirmation XML. In future, the communication server
should no longer provide these notifications.
