  The SAP error message MN797, which states "Number range object settlement run number does not exist," typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction related to settlement runs, but the system cannot find a valid number range for the specified object. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of settlement runs in Controlling (CO) or Asset Accounting (AA).
  Causes:
