Step-by-step resolution

1. Identify which data element(s) exceed allowed occurrences from the rejection details.

2. Review the declaration specification for the maximum allowed occurrences for that DE.

3. On the declaration, count instances of the DE and mark extras.

4. Remove or consolidate duplicate/extra instances so the count equals or is below the permitted maximum.

7. Resubmit the declaration.
