How to fix this error?

The simulated Carrier Nomination consists of 1 - n line items. All line
items should have the same header fields of a Nomination (see
Nomination transaction).
The 3WP transaction defaults each header field if it is initial or
identical into one Nomination header line.
If at least two lines have different entries for at least one header
field, a manual user decision is required to obtain consistent header
field entries. The current operation gets terminated till the header
fields are consistent.
