  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_ASN244 indicates that the ASN (Advanced Shipping Notification) number is being overwritten by a number range object. This typically occurs when there is a conflict between the ASN number being generated and the number range settings in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The ASN number being generated may fall outside the defined number range or may conflict with existing ASN numbers.
  Manual Entry: If a user manually enters an ASN number that is not within the allowed range, it can trigger this error.

  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements that manipulate ASN numbers, review that code to ensure it adheres to the number range settings.
