  The SAP error message 6C011 ("Enter number range") typically occurs when a user tries to create or process a document that requires a number from a number range that has not been defined or is not available for the current context. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), or others where document numbering is essential.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Not Defined: The number range for the specific document type has not been defined in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Define Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
