  The SAP error message EHPRC_RCS051, which indicates a "Buffer overrun in interval &1 in number range &2," typically arises in the context of number range management in SAP systems. This error suggests that there is an issue with the number range buffer, which is used to optimize the performance of number range allocations.
  Cause:
  
  Buffer Overrun: The error indicates that the buffer for the specified number range has been exceeded. This can happen if the number range is not properly configured or if there is a high volume of transactions that exhaust the available numbers in the buffer.
  Configuration Issues: The number range might not be set up correctly, or the intervals defined for the number range may not be sufficient to handle the volume of requests.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, it may not be able to allocate numbers efficiently, leading to buffer overruns.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Clear Buffer:
  
  Sometimes, clearing the buffer can resolve the issue. You can do this by using transaction code SNUM to manage number ranges and clear any inconsistencies.
