This error indicates that the system has exhausted the available internal number range for creating new rack meters.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the internal number range defined for rack meters has been fully utilized. This can happen if:
  
  The number range has not been properly configured to allow for sufficient numbers.

  The number range has been set to a limited range and has not been extended.

  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Check for Configuration Errors:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the number range is correct and that it is assigned to the appropriate organizational units.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
