  The SAP error message CMAC_FEE_CALC257 typically indicates that there is an issue with the internal number range configuration for a specific process, often related to fee calculation or similar functionalities in the SAP system. This error usually arises when the system expects a valid internal number range to be defined but cannot find one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range: The internal number range for the relevant document type or process has not been defined in the system.
