This error is related to the number range configuration for General Ledger (GL) documents. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Number Range Issue: The document number you are trying to enter does not fall within the defined number range for the specified year. This can happen if:
  
  The number range for the GL document type is not properly configured.
  The document number has already been used or is outside the allowed range.
  The fiscal year is not correctly set or is closed.
  
  
  
  Year Mismatch: The year specified in the error message may not match the fiscal year settings in your SAP system.
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type you are using may not have a valid number range assigned to it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to GL documents (usually FBN1 for financial documents).
  Verify that the number range is correctly defined and that the range is open for the current fiscal year.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Type Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OBY6 to check the document types and their assigned number ranges.
  Ensure that the document type you are using has a valid number range assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Settings:
  
  Ensure that the fiscal year is open for posting. You can check this in transaction code OB52 (Open and Close Posting Periods).
  Make sure that the year you are trying to post to is not closed.
  
  
  
  Use Automatic Number Assignment:
  
  If manual entry is causing issues, consider using automatic number assignment for document numbers, which can help avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
