  The SAP error message 9J406 indicates that there is an issue with number range determination for a specific document and item. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to find a valid number range for the specified object, which can happen for several reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Not Defined: The number range for the specified object (e.g., document type) may not be defined in the system.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may be defined but not assigned to the relevant document type or object.
