  The SAP error message L9104 indicates that the deletion of a number range is not possible because its status is greater than 0. This typically means that the number range is currently in use or has been assigned to some objects, preventing its deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Active Assignments: The number range is actively assigned to one or more objects (e.g., documents, master data).
