IO008 - Details

• The SAP error message IO008 indicates that the last number in a specified number range has been assigned. This typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a new document or object that requires a unique identifier, but the number range defined for that object has been exhausted.
  
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the specific object (e.g., internal orders, projects, etc.) has reached its maximum limit, and no more numbers are available for assignment.
