  Cause:
  The error arises when the user inputs a value that is either:

  Check Input Value: Ensure that the value you are entering is a whole number and falls within the specified range (0 to 11).
  Correct Input: If the value is outside this range, adjust it accordingly. For example:
  
  If you entered 12, change it to 11 or lower.
  If you entered a negative number, change it to 0 or a positive number within the range.
  
  
  Re-enter the Value: After making the necessary adjustments, re-enter the value in the field and try to save or proceed with the transaction again.
