• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06225 - Number range & nearly exhausted ?

  The SAP error message "06225 Number range & nearly exhausted" indicates that a specific number range is close to being fully utilized. This typically occurs when the system is running out of available numbers in a defined number range for a particular object, such as document numbers, order numbers, or other identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Exhaustion of Number Range: The number range defined for a specific object is nearly exhausted, meaning that the system has used up most of the available numbers.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been configured to allow for a sufficient number of entries.
  High Volume of Transactions: A high volume of transactions or documents being created can lead to rapid consumption of the available numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Check the current number range settings and extend the range if necessary. This can involve increasing the upper limit of the number range.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range.
  This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by defining a new number range object and assigning it to the relevant application.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to prevent future exhaustion.
  Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators when a number range is nearing its limit.
  
  
  
  Check for Configuration Errors:
  
  Ensure that the number range is correctly configured in the relevant application settings.
