This error indicates that the system has exhausted all available numbers in a defined number range for a particular object, such as document numbers, invoice numbers, or other sequentially assigned identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range for a specific document type or object has been completely used up.

  Check Number Range Status:
