This error can arise in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), when trying to post a document.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the document type you are trying to use may not be correctly configured. This could mean that the number range is either not defined, has been exhausted, or is not assigned to the document type you are using.
  Document Type Issues: The document type may not be correctly linked to the number range, or the number range may not be active for the current fiscal year or period.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to use the specified number range.
  Document Number Already Used: If the document number you are trying to use has already been assigned or used, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is defined and that it is active for the current fiscal year.
  Verify that the number range is correctly assigned to the document type you are using.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OBD4 (for FI) or OKB9 (for CO) to check the document type settings.
  Ensure that the document type is linked to the correct number range.
  
  
  
  Check for Exhausted Number Ranges:
  
  If the number range has been exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same configuration area where you checked the number range.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to post documents using the specified number range.
  
  
  
  Check for Duplicate Document Numbers:
