    The SAP error message ABI029 "Number Range Not Available (Object: &1, Sub Object: &2, Length: &3)" typically occurs when the system attempts to generate a number from a number range that is either not defined, exhausted, or not properly configured for the specified object and sub-object.

    3. Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be correctly configured or may not be assigned to the relevant document type or object.
