Cause:
The error is generally caused by an attempt to import more event numbers than the system is configured to handle. In this case, the maximum number of event numbers allowed is 10, and the import process is trying to exceed this limit. This can happen due to:

Review the Import File: Check the data file you are trying to import. Ensure that it does not contain more than the allowed number of event numbers (10 in this case). If it does, you will need to reduce the number of events in the file.
Adjust Configuration: If you need to import more than 10 event numbers, consider adjusting the configuration settings in SAP SuccessFactors, if possible. This may involve consulting with your system administrator or SAP support.
Correct Mapping: Ensure that the mapping of fields in your import file aligns with the expected fields in SAP SuccessFactors. This can help prevent issues during the import process.
Batch Processing: If you have a large number of events to import, consider breaking them into smaller batches that comply with the maximum limit.
Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP SuccessFactors documentation for any specific guidelines or limitations regarding event imports.
Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They can provide insights specific to your system configuration and help troubleshoot the issue.
