What causes this issue?

You cannot use the evaluation group number that you have entered for
company code &V1&.
Within any given company code, you can only use one evaluation group
number (1-4). You have already used a different number in this company
code (&V3&).

System Response

The system corrects the number. So that the entry can be changed, it
also enters an existing value in the <LS>No</> field (Evaluation group
number).

How to fix this error?

Enter a new evaluation group number.
If you want to change the evaluation group number, you must delete all
the entries in the company code and then create them again with the new
number. This procedure is necessary because the various evaluation
group numbers are linked to different evaluation groups.
