  Cause:
  
  
  Unique Number Generation Failure: The error indicates that the system is unable to generate a unique file number for the specified object. This could be due to several reasons:
  
  The number range for the object has been exhausted.
  There is a configuration issue with the number range settings.
  The number range is not properly defined or activated for the relevant object type.
  There may be a database issue or a temporary system glitch.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: If the number range is not set up correctly in the configuration, it can lead to this error. This includes missing entries or incorrect settings in the number range intervals.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adjusting the intervals to allow for more unique numbers.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the database that might be preventing the generation of new numbers. If you find any locks that are not needed, you can delete them.
