  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is that the account number you are trying to use does not fall within the valid number range defined for the specified account group. Each account group in SAP has a specific range of numbers that can be assigned to accounts within that group.

  Check the Account Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBD4 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Preparations > Define Account Groups).
  Find the account group specified in the error message and check its number range settings.
  
  
  
  Verify the Number Range:
  
  In the number range settings, ensure that the number range assigned to the account group includes the account number you are trying to use.
  If the account number is outside the defined range, you will need to either change the account number to one that is within the range or adjust the number range settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can modify the number range for the account group to include the desired account number. This can be done in the same configuration area where you checked the account group settings.
  Make sure to save your changes and ensure that the number range is active.
  
  
  
  Create/Modify the Account Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to create or modify the account again using a valid account number that falls within the defined range.
