  The SAP error message 8I791 indicates that there is a problem with the number range assignment for a specific number group. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create or process an object (like a document or a record) that requires a unique identifier, but the system cannot find an assigned number range for that identifier.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the number range for the specified number group has not been defined or assigned in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Issues: The number range has not been set up in the configuration settings for the relevant application.
  Missing Assignments: The number range is defined but not assigned to the specific number group you are trying to use.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the number range might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that the number range is properly defined and assigned. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  Ensure that the number range is assigned to the correct number group.
  
  
  
  Define a New Number Range (if necessary):
  
  If no number range exists, you may need to create a new one.
  Click on "Intervals" and define a new interval with the desired range (e.g., from 1 to 999999).
  
  
  
  Assign the Number Range to the Number Group:
  
  Ensure that the number range is assigned to the relevant number group in the configuration settings.
