  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the number range settings can lead to this error. This includes settings in the customizing transaction (e.g., SNRO for number ranges).
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data into SAP, there may be conflicts with existing number ranges or incorrect mappings.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to generate numbers simultaneously, it may lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Ranges:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the relevant number range object for the document type or object type that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the number range is defined correctly and that there are available numbers in the range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
