  The SAP error message XR014 indicates that there is an issue with the internal customer number assignment for a business partner. This error typically arises when there is a problem with the configuration or data related to the business partner in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Business Partner Configuration: The business partner may not be properly configured to be assigned an internal customer number. This can happen if the necessary settings in the Business Partner (BP) role are not correctly defined.
  Number Range Issues: The number range for internal customer numbers may not be defined or may be exhausted. This means that the system cannot assign a new internal customer number because there are no available numbers in the defined range.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or assign internal customer numbers.
