This is an automatic system alert, which aims to inform that for a specific document, its number range has almost no available numbers/IDs left, hence the related business transaction would not be created.

Within the error description in the incident, there are two important fields: Number Range Object Long Text and Interval Number

The number range object in the above example is FIA_ACCOUNTING_DOCUMENT, which stands for the business object of journal entries. The message also mentions the interval numbers 50 and 60 for year 2018.

Therefore, it is known that for fiscal year 2018 the system is running out of numbers for journal entries with interval numbers 50 and 60

To check and adjust the number ranges, please follow below steps:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to the Implementation Projects view.
3. Open the activity list.
4. Open the activity Journal Entry Types and Number Ranges.
5. Click Edit number range profiles for journal entries.

In this screen you'll be able to edit the number ranges.

Note that the IDs are fiscal year-dependent. Hence, for 2018 you may be running out of numbers for interval 50 but for 2019 there are still numbers available.
