• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1E018 - No more numbers are free in number range & ?

  The SAP error message 1E018 ("No more numbers are free in number range &") indicates that the system has exhausted the available numbers in a specified number range. This typically occurs when the number range has been fully utilized, and there are no more numbers available for assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range has been completely used up. This can happen if the number range is too small for the volume of documents being created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be configured correctly, or it may not have been extended to accommodate future needs.
  Number Range Lock: In some cases, the number range might be locked or restricted due to configuration settings.
  
  Solution:

  Check Current Number Range:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  This can be done in the same transaction (SNRO) by defining a new interval.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the number range that might prevent new numbers from being assigned.
