  The SAP error message 9P525 indicates that there is an issue with the external number selection rules for a specific document type in the Customizing settings. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the necessary configuration for external number assignment for a particular company code (CC) and document type (type).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The external number range for the specified company code and document type has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings for external number assignment may be incorrectly configured or incomplete.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access Customizing:
