    This means that you have set up rules that prevent account numbers that start with 0. If you want to use account numbers that start with 0, then you can't have rules that prevent it. You need to adjust the rules - see the documentation linked earlier in this discussion.

    Hi

    As per your configured rule, you couldn't start your first number with 0, and if you want to start your number with 0 then please reconfigure your rule.
