  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_RF137 indicates that a number generated from a number range object is too long. Specifically, it states that the new number exceeds the maximum allowed character length defined for that number range object.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when:
  
  A number range object is configured with a maximum length that is shorter than the length of the number being generated or entered.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  Check the configuration for the maximum length of the number range. Ensure that it is set appropriately for your business needs.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Length:
  
  If the maximum length is indeed too short, you may need to adjust it. This can involve:

  Creating a new number range object with a longer maximum length if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements that generate or manipulate numbers, review that code to ensure it adheres to the defined limits of the number range object.
