  Key Concepts: 
  A number range group is a component of the SAP system that allows users to define and manage a range of numbers for use in various applications. This range of numbers can be used to assign unique identifiers to objects, such as customer orders or invoices. The number range group is part of the CA-GTF General Application Functions component of SAP. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Number range groups are used to assign unique numbers to objects within the SAP system. To create a number range group, users must first define the range of numbers they want to use. This can be done by specifying the start and end numbers, as well as any gaps in between. Once the range is defined, users can assign it to an object type, such as customer orders or invoices. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a number range group, it is important to ensure that the range of numbers is large enough to accommodate all objects that will be assigned a unique identifier. Additionally, it is important to ensure that there are no gaps in the range of numbers, as this could lead to duplicate identifiers being assigned.
