  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_MEC018 typically indicates an issue related to the internal number range configuration for change records in the context of planning or material management. This error occurs when the system is unable to generate a new change record ID because the internal number range is not properly configured or has been exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Number Range Configuration: The internal number range for the change record ID is either not defined or has been exhausted. This means that the system has run out of available numbers to assign to new change records.
  Number Range Object: The number range object associated with the change record may not be properly set up in the system.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing or modifying the number range.

  Ensure that the new interval does not overlap with existing intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the number range settings. This may require assistance from a system administrator.
