What causes this issue?

For the company code and fiscal year used in the document that you
posted, the system has detected inconsistent entries in Customizing for
the leading document type and series. The system cannot perform the
required checks of the leading document type and series.
For each company code and fiscal year, you can enter multiple number
range intervals in Customizing, but you must enter a unique combination
of leading document type and series per number range interval. You
cannot leave the leading document type or series empty.

System Response

Even if each combination of leading document and series entered for a
company code seems to be unique, the system cannot perform the required
checks.
The system will prevent the posting of any invoices that use a number
range interval for which the combination of leading document type and
series is inconsistent or not unique in Customizing.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
