  SAP Error Message:
  WE712 - Number range & not defined
  
  
  Cause:
  The error message WE712 occurs when the system tries to assign a number from a number range that has not been defined or maintained for a particular IDoc message type or process. In other words, the system expects a number range object to generate a unique number (e.g., for an IDoc number), but it cannot find the corresponding number range interval or object in the configuration.
  This typically happens in the context of IDoc processing, where number ranges are used to generate unique IDoc numbers or other related identifiers.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder & in the message will be replaced by the name of the number range object or message type.
  The system looks for a number range interval for the specified object but does not find any.
  Without a valid number range, the system cannot generate a unique number, so it throws this error.
