  The SAP error message VK159 indicates that there is an issue with the number range for rebates. Specifically, it means that the system is unable to find a valid number range for the rebate document you are trying to create or process. This can occur for various reasons, such as configuration issues or missing number range objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Object: The number range object for rebates may not be defined in the system.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may exist but is not assigned to the relevant document type.
  Number Range Depleted: The number range may be exhausted, meaning all available numbers have been used.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range.
