This error usually occurs when a system attempts to assign a number that is not valid according to the defined number range intervals.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the object in question has not been properly configured, or the number range has been exhausted.
  Incorrect Number Assignment: The system is trying to assign a number that has already been used or is outside the defined range.
  Manual Entry: A manual entry or a custom program may be trying to assign a number that does not fall within the allowed range.
