  The SAP error message Q0136, which states "System error during number assignment. (obj. &1, no. range &2)," typically occurs when there is an issue with the number range assignment for a specific object in the SAP system. This error can arise in various contexts, such as when creating or processing quality notifications, inspection lots, or other objects that require unique identification numbers.
  Causes:
  
  Number Range Configuration Issues: The number range for the object in question may not be properly configured or may be exhausted.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the number range.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that prevent the system from assigning a new number.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Ensure that the number range is defined correctly and that there are available numbers in the range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it by adding more numbers. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction.
  Ensure that the number range is set to "Internal" if the system should automatically assign numbers.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify the object associated with the number range.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
