• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 10015 - Please enter a sequential number which is less than & ?

  The SAP error message 10015, which states "Please enter a sequential number which is less than &," typically occurs when a user is trying to enter a number in a field that requires a sequential number, but the number entered does not meet the criteria set by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Sequential Number Requirement: The field in question is likely configured to accept only sequential numbers, which means that the number must follow a specific order or pattern.
  Number Range Issues: The number you are trying to enter may exceed the defined range for that particular field or object.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the number range configuration may not allow the number you are trying to enter, possibly due to a gap in the sequence or a misconfiguration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) to check the configuration of the number range object related to the field you are trying to fill.
  Ensure that the number you are trying to enter is within the defined range.
  
  
  
  Use a Valid Sequential Number:
  
  Enter a number that is less than the maximum allowed value indicated by the error message.
  If you are unsure of the valid range, consult with your SAP administrator or refer to the documentation for the specific module you are working with.
  
  
  
  Review the Sequence:
  
  If the system is expecting a sequential number, ensure that you are not skipping any numbers in the sequence. For example, if the last used number was 100, you should enter 101, not 105.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.

  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify entries in the system, as restrictions may also lead to this error.
