    How to fix this error?

    Transaction &V2& must be defined in controlling area &V1&. Check table
    T022. Transaction &V2& should be defined in this table and a "X" set in
    the field "CO doc." (CO documents).
    Then start program RKTKA04C. You will see in the report log that an
    entry for controlling area &V1& and transaction &V2& has been added.
    Finally, maintain number ranges for controlling area &V1&. You must
    assign &V2& to a group and define an internal number assignment range
    for this group.
