What causes this issue?

You are trying to introduce a line/reporting point structure to the ERP
system which already exists. Such a structure is identified via the
parameter LINEHEADER and LINEVERSION. The line/reporting point structure
&V1& with version number &V2& already exists and can therefore not be
saved.

System Response

The line/reporting point structure is not saved.
Backflushes for this line/reporting point structure are checked with the
already existing structure in the system.

How to fix this error?

Check the transferred parameters LINEHEADER and LINEVERSION. The value
of parameter LINEVERSION is probably too small.
