What causes this issue?

You have entered the separate sender number &V1& for personnel area &V2&
&V3&. However, notification files with sender number &V4& have already
been transferred for this personnel area.
In table T5D4U, the file number is updated for each notification
procedure and each combination of sender and receiving office. However,
the sender is determined based on the personnel area and personnel
subarea, and not based on the sender number. As the file number must be
in ascending order without any gaps for a new sender number, a new
sender number can only be assigned to one personnel area and personnel
subarea for which, up until now, no reporting files with a different
sender number were transferred.
