  The SAP error message KE0C081 indicates that there are issues with number ranges when generating example data in the Controlling (CO) module. This error typically arises when the system cannot find a valid number range for the object being processed, which can prevent the generation of example data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Ranges: The number range for the specific object (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) has not been defined or is missing.
