  The SAP error message L9100 typically relates to issues with number range maintenance in the Logistics module, particularly in the context of document numbers, material numbers, or other entities that require unique identification within the system. This error can occur when the system is unable to assign a new number from the defined number range.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range has been exhausted. This means that all the numbers in the range have been used up.

  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Object Maintenance).

  In the SNRO transaction, select the appropriate number range and add a new interval with a higher upper limit.
  
  
  
  Activate Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active for the relevant document type. This can be checked in the configuration settings for the specific module (e.g., Materials Management, Sales and Distribution).
