  Review Configuration:
  
  If there are configuration issues, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the number range is set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the CATT functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
