  • 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.

    System Response

    The sender number cannot be entered.
