Spanish term or phrase: La linea no tiene el tamaño adecuado para un sobrante.
These are error messages from the web application of a parcel/messenger/post service in Spain, aimed at customers. I don't understand what they mean by sobrante in these 3 examples (there are no more where sobrante occurs)

No puede ser no sobrante y con acción admitir.
No puede ser sobrante y con acción devolver.
La linea no tiene el tamaño adecuado para un sobrante.

What the other messages all seem to be about is registering things you want to send online, paying for them, tracking them...

II think "línea" is a line in a text file, as some of the other messages relate to using specially formatted files for batch registration.
TIA

Thank you. I'm sure you're probably right! I'm not completely clear what is actually in excess, but when I find out I shall post here (I have asked the source to explain.)
