  The SAP error message O8122, which states "Very few numbers left," typically occurs in the context of number range management. This error indicates that the number range for a specific object (like document numbers, order numbers, etc.) is running low on available numbers. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for a particular object has been nearly exhausted, meaning there are very few numbers left to assign.
  Configuration Issues: The number range might not have been configured properly, or the intervals set for the number range are too narrow.
