• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 54075 - Entries are not consecutive ?

  The SAP error message 54075, which states "Entries are not consecutive," typically occurs in the context of document processing, particularly when dealing with number ranges or document numbers in SAP. This error indicates that there is a gap in the sequence of document numbers that SAP expects to be consecutive.
  Cause:
  
  
  Gaps in Number Ranges: The most common cause of this error is that there are gaps in the number range assigned to a particular document type. For example, if document numbers 1001, 1002, and 1004 exist, but 1003 is missing, SAP will throw this error when trying to process a document that expects a consecutive number.
  
  
  Manual Deletion: If document numbers were manually deleted or if there was an error during document creation that caused a number to be skipped, this can lead to non-consecutive entries.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of number ranges in the system can also lead to this error. This includes settings in the number range object or the assignment of number ranges to document types.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Ranges: 
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the number range object related to the document type you are working with. 
  Ensure that the number ranges are correctly defined and that there are no gaps.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range: 
  
  If you find gaps, you may need to adjust the number range settings. This can involve extending the number range or reassigning document numbers if necessary.
  You can also use transaction code SNUM to manage number ranges.
  
  
  
  Document Deletion: 
  
  If a document was created with a number that is now missing, you may need to delete that document (if permissible) to allow the system to generate the next consecutive number.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or Functional Team: 
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to number ranges or if the issue persists, it is advisable to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team. They can provide insights into the configuration and help resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SNRO: To check and manage number range objects.
  SNUM: To view and maintain number ranges.
  
  
  
  Documentation: SAP Help Portal and SAP Notes can provide additional guidance on managing number ranges and troubleshooting related issues.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, always test the document creation process to ensure that the error is resolved and that documents are being generated with consecutive numbers.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
