15. However, as the result of the automatic numbering procedure, only
numbers 11 to 14 can be assigned. The automatic numbering procedure is
unsuccessful.
Business transaction 9999 exists in a stage. A new business transaction
is added. No item numbers higher than 9999 can be assigned. The
automatic numbering procedure is unsuccessful.
