  The SAP error message OIUME006 ("Do not enter container number for internal no. range") typically occurs in the context of handling containers in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with the management of container numbers in logistics or warehouse management scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when a user attempts to enter a container number that falls within an internal number range that is reserved for the system's automatic number generation.

  Use the Correct Number:

  Automatic Number Assignment:
  
  If you need a container number, consider allowing the system to generate it automatically instead of trying to enter it manually. This can often be done by leaving the field blank or using a specific function in the transaction.
