  The SAP error message GOX_OBJECTS_GENERATE005 with the description "Sequence number &1 is not within allowed range" typically occurs in the context of generating or processing objects in SAP, particularly when dealing with document numbers, sequence numbers, or similar identifiers.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Invalid Sequence Number: The sequence number being used is outside the defined range in the system. This can happen if the number has been manually set or if there is a configuration issue.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The number range configuration for the relevant object (like document types, transaction types, etc.) may not be set up correctly, or the number range may have been exhausted.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrectly configured number ranges.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements that manipulate sequence numbers, they may not be handling the ranges correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Ensure that the number range is correctly defined and that the sequence number you are trying to use falls within the allowed range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adjusting the upper limit of the number range.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments that interact with the sequence numbers, review the code to ensure it is correctly handling the number ranges.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Issues:
