Violates off day grouping requirement

Does anyone know what this ACTUALLY means? the PWA and the Scheduling handbook dont shed any light on this. Im trying to move some rsv days around that are adequately staffed, and cant figure out why its denying my request with the dreaded "Violates off day grouping"

Thanks

The 99 is n/a for any realistic schedule so you can ignore it. For reference, check out the first few pages of any bid package which will explain these rules in depth.

Also you cannot create more off day groupings than you were originally awarded. Say you have 3 off day groupings after initial bid you cannot move days to have 4 sets of days. At least that is how it was explained to me.

I submit this should be fixed in C19. There is no good reason for it.
