What causes this issue?

You have entered a combination of leading document type and series for a
number range interval. However, this combination has already been used
for a different number range interval in the same company code.
For each company code and fiscal year, Customizing entries can be
created for multiple number range intervals, but each entry must have a
unique combination of leading document type and series. You cannot leave
the leading document type and series empty.

System Response

The system has detected inconsistent entries in Customizing for the
leading document type and series for the specified company code and the
fiscal year.
The system prevents the change.

How to fix this error?

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

Procedure for System Administrators

In Customizing, you must make sure that each combination of leading
document type and series is used only once within the same company code
and fiscal year.
Proceed as follows:
If you have entered a new number range interval, enter a different
combination of leading document type and series that is unique for the
company code and fiscal year.
If you have recreated a number range interval that had previously been
deleted and you have reused the same combination of leading document
type and series, you must use a different combination of leading
document type and series for this existing number range interval.
