  Solution
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number ranges are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps or gaps.

  Check for Exhaustion:
  
  Verify if the number range has been exhausted. You can do this by checking the current status of the number range in the same transaction.
  If it is exhausted, you may need to extend the number range or create a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
