• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60505 - Error & during generation of cost collector number ?

  The SAP error message 60505 typically occurs during the generation of a cost collector number in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS) modules. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding an appropriate solution.
  Cause of Error 60505
  
  
  Number Range Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the number range for the cost collector is exhausted or not properly defined. Each cost collector requires a unique number, and if the defined range is full, the system cannot generate a new number.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the number range settings for cost collectors. This could include incorrect settings in the number range object or missing authorizations.
  
  
  System Locking: Sometimes, the system may be locked or in a state where it cannot generate new numbers due to ongoing transactions or processes.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system that affect the cost collector number generation, they may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error 60505, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to cost collectors (usually COSTCOLLECTOR or similar).
  Check the current status of the number range. If it is exhausted, you may need to extend the range or create a new one.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by editing the number range intervals. Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing numbers.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create cost collectors. Lack of proper authorizations can also lead to errors.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant tables. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system-level issues or configurations that might be affecting number generation.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments related to cost collectors, review the code to ensure it is functioning correctly and not causing the error.
