• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1E016 - The number issued is in the critical range of number range & ?

  The SAP error message 1E016 indicates that the number issued is in the critical range of a number range object. This typically occurs when the system is trying to assign a number from a number range that is nearing its limit or has reached a predefined critical threshold.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range object has been configured with a critical range, which is a range of numbers that should be monitored closely. When a number is issued from this range, the system generates this error message.
  Exhaustion of Number Range: The number range may be close to being exhausted, meaning that there are very few numbers left to assign.
  Custom Settings: Custom number range settings may have been defined that restrict the use of certain numbers or ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object and check the current status of the number range.
  Look for the "Current Number" and "Last Number" to see how many numbers are left.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is indeed close to exhaustion, you can extend it by:
  
  Going to transaction SNRO.
  Selecting the number range object and choosing the option to change the number range intervals.
  Adding a new interval or extending the existing one.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Critical Range Settings:
  
  If the critical range settings are too restrictive, you can adjust them in the number range configuration.
  This can be done in the same transaction (SNRO) by modifying the settings for the number range object.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to prevent running into critical situations in the future.
  Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators when the number range is approaching its limits.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific guidelines related to your implementation.
