  The SAP error message FMFG885 typically relates to issues with number ranges in the context of managing lots in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the next free number in the specified number range for a lot. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for the lot has been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
  Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured or may not be set up to allow for the creation of new lot numbers.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the number range.
  System Settings: The system settings may not allow for automatic number assignment, or there may be restrictions in place.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the lot management and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the number range is defined correctly and that there are free numbers available.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
