  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause of this error is that the number range for the document type you are trying to post has been exhausted. This can happen if the number range is not properly configured or if the maximum limit of the number range has been reached.

  Assign Number Range to Document Type:
  
  Ensure that the document type you are using is correctly assigned to a valid number range.
  You can check this in the configuration settings for the specific module (e.g., FI, MM, etc.) where the document type is defined.
  
  
  
  Check for Document Type Usage:
  
  If the document type is used frequently, consider creating additional number ranges or adjusting the existing ones to accommodate the volume of transactions.
