  The SAP error message J2736 ("Internal number assignment must be valid for number range used") typically occurs when there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific object or document type in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to assign a number that is not valid according to the defined number range.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the object (e.g., document, invoice, etc.) may not be properly configured or may not include the number that the system is trying to assign.
  Number Range Status: The number range may be set to "not available" or "not active" for the current period or for the specific object type.
  Overlapping Number Ranges: There may be overlapping or conflicting number ranges that cause the system to reject the number assignment.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to use the specified number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.

  If the number range is too narrow or has been exhausted, you may need to extend the intervals or create a new number range.
