• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >3091 - Number range interval &1 is flagged as "internal" ?

  The SAP error message 3091 indicates that a number range interval is flagged as "internal." This typically means that the number range is reserved for internal use and cannot be used for external document creation or processing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Internal Number Range: The number range interval you are trying to use is set up as an internal number range. This means it is not intended for external use, which is why you are encountering this error.
  Configuration Issue: The configuration of the number range may not be set correctly, or you may be trying to use a number range that is not appropriate for the document type you are working with.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Check the intervals defined for that object. Look for the interval that is flagged as "internal."
  If you need to use this number range for external purposes, you may need to create a new number range interval that is not flagged as internal.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If the existing number range is not suitable, you can create a new number range interval.
  In the same SNRO transaction, you can define a new interval and ensure it is set up for external use.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  If applicable, check the document type settings in the relevant configuration area (e.g., for sales orders, invoices, etc.) to ensure that the correct number range is assigned.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to understand the implications of changing number range settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SNRO: To manage number range objects.
  SNUM: To display number ranges.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to number ranges.
  
  Conclusion:
  The error message 3091 indicates a restriction on the use of a number range interval. By reviewing and potentially adjusting the number range configuration, you can resolve this issue. Always ensure that any changes made are in line with your organization's policies and practices regarding number range management.
