Procedure for System Administrators

There is a problem or inconsistency with number range object HRSOBJECT
or one of its intervals.
An attempt was made to adjust interval '01' of number range object
HRSOBJECT for the standard object &V1&. An error occurred. However,
this action is necessary because the current '01' interval does not
correspond to the interval specified in table T77NRI for the current
client.
Try to change the number range interval manually. To do this use
transaction SNUM. Enter HRSOBJECT as the object name. Go to number
range maintenance and enter standard object &V1& as the subobject.
Delete all intervals except interval '01'. This interval must not be
external. Enter as the interval limit the active values entered in
table T77NRI for the current client. The current number must be within
the interval limit.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
