  The SAP error message /SCWM/ERPINTEGRATION401 indicates that a specific number range for a given object is almost exhausted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is running out of available numbers for a particular object, such as delivery documents, transfer orders, or other transactional data.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the specified object has been used up, meaning that there are very few or no available numbers left for new transactions.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not be configured correctly, or the intervals may be too small for the volume of transactions being processed.
  High Transaction Volume: A sudden increase in transaction volume can lead to rapid consumption of the available number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error message (you can find the object name in the error message).
  Check the current intervals and extend them as necessary to accommodate more numbers.

  Verify that the intervals are set correctly and that there are no overlaps or gaps.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to anticipate when they might become exhausted.
  Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators when the number range is approaching its limit.
  
  
  
  Archiving Old Data:
  
  If applicable, consider archiving old data that may no longer be needed, which can help in managing the overall data volume and number range usage.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
