How to fix this error?

Problem while reading group type 'W' (1)
Check in shipping Customizing that group type 'W' (picking wave) exists.
Problem while assigning a number for the picking wave (2)
No number can be assigned for the picking wave. Check the shipping
Customizing regarding the number range for group type 'W'.
Problem while entering the WM reference in the group (3) (This error
could have more than one cause)
The number range assigned to the group type for picking waves cannot
overlap number ranges from WM references for groups. Check in
Customizing to make sure these number ranges do not overlap.
Number range end: check the number range situation of the WM references
for groups in warehouse management.
Group WM reference blocked: the WM reference is blocked by another
program. Try to carry out the process again later. If the error occurs
again, contact the person responsible for your system.
Document has already been incorporated in a WM reference: the delivery
is already assigned to another picking wave and cannot be included in a
second one.
Problem while determining picking relevance (4)
Check in the Customizing settings for two-step picking in warehouse
management.
Problem while adding the group, deliveries of the group, or log (5)
Contact the person responsible for your system.
