• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >3015 - Specify a number from number range interval (&1, &2) ?

  The SAP error message 3015 ("Specify a number from number range interval (&1, &2)") typically occurs when a user attempts to enter a number that is outside the defined range of a number range object. This error is common in various SAP transactions where number ranges are used, such as creating documents, orders, or other entities that require unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range interval defined for the specific object is not set up correctly, or the number you are trying to use falls outside the defined range.
  Exhausted Number Range: The current number range may have been exhausted, meaning all available numbers within the range have been used.
  Incorrect Manual Entry: The user may have manually entered a number that does not fall within the allowed range.
  Missing Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain number ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check the intervals defined for it.
  Ensure that the number range is correctly configured and that the intervals are active.

  This can be done in transaction SNRO or SNUM (depending on your SAP version).
  
  
  
  Use Valid Number:
  
  Ensure that the number you are trying to enter falls within the specified range. If you are entering a number manually, double-check it against the defined intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to use the number range. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your SAP security team.
