What causes this issue?

You want to enter the separate sender number &V1&. However, the separate
sender number &V2& has already been used for this personnel area (either
in view V_T5D0P or view V_5D0P_F).
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, you may
only use one sender number for a personnel area and personnel subarea.
