  The SAP error message RTC_DOC_POSTING010, which states "Number range: Number issued lies in the critical range," typically occurs when you are trying to post a document (such as an invoice or a journal entry) and the number assigned to that document falls within a range that is considered critical or restricted by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the document type you are trying to post may be configured with a critical range. This means that the system has been set up to restrict the use of certain numbers to prevent conflicts or errors.
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range may be nearing its limit, and the next number issued falls within a range that is flagged as critical.
  Custom Settings: Custom configurations or enhancements in the SAP system may have defined certain ranges as critical for specific business processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the document type you are trying to post.
  Check the configuration to see if there are any critical ranges defined and what the current status of the number range is.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted or nearing its limit, you may need to extend the number range. This can be done by adjusting the upper limit of the number range in the configuration.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with any existing critical ranges.
  
  
  
  Review Critical Range Settings:
  
  If the critical range is necessary for your business process, consider whether you can adjust the settings to allow for more flexibility or to reassign the critical range to a different set of numbers.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the number range configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team. They can provide guidance on best practices and ensure that any changes made do not disrupt other processes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test posting to ensure that the issue has been resolved and that the document can be posted successfully.
