  The SAP error message J4141, which states "System error: number range object & does not exist," typically occurs when the system is trying to access a number range object that has not been defined or is not available in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating documents, transactions, or master data that require a unique identifier.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Object: The specified number range object is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range object may be incorrectly configured or not assigned to the relevant application.
  Transport Issues: If the number range object was supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Object:
