  The SAP error message PH113, which states "Internal error in function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT," typically indicates an issue with the number range object in SAP. This error can occur when the system is unable to retrieve the next number from a defined number range, which is often used for generating unique identifiers for various objects in SAP.
  Causes:
  
  Number Range Exhaustion: The number range may be exhausted, meaning that all available numbers in the range have been used up.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings, such as incorrect intervals or missing entries.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the number range.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as locks or corruption, that prevent the function module from executing properly.
  Custom Code: If there are custom developments that interact with number ranges, they may be causing the error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
