  Number Range Status: The number range may be set to "not available" or may be exhausted (i.e., all numbers in the range have been used).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or use the number range.
  Object Type Mismatch: The number range object specified may not match the expected object type in the system.
