  The SAP error message KI282, which states "Create a number range for documents from the CO interface," typically occurs in the Controlling (CO) module when the system attempts to create a document (such as a cost center or internal order) but cannot find a defined number range for that document type.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined number range for the specific document type in the Controlling module. This can happen if:
  
  The number range has not been set up in the system.
  The number range has been deleted or is inactive.
  The configuration for the number range is incomplete or incorrect.
