• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60886 - Internal number assignment. Number entered will be ignored ?

  The SAP error message "60886 Internal number assignment. Number entered will be ignored" typically occurs when a user attempts to manually enter a number in a field that is controlled by the system's internal number assignment logic. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating documents, records, or transactions where SAP is set to automatically generate numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Number Assignment: The system is configured to automatically assign numbers to certain objects (like invoices, purchase orders, etc.) based on predefined number ranges. When a user tries to enter a number manually in such a field, SAP ignores the input and generates its own number.
  Field Configuration: The field may be set to accept only system-generated numbers, and manual entries are not allowed.
  Number Range Settings: The number range for the object may be set to "Internal," meaning that the system will always generate the number.
  
  Solution:
  
  Do Not Enter a Number: If the field is meant for internal number assignment, simply leave it blank and let SAP generate the number automatically.
  Check Configuration: If you believe that manual number entry should be allowed, check the configuration settings for the number range in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code SNRO for number ranges). You may need to adjust the settings to allow manual entry if appropriate.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or module you are working with to understand the expected behavior.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify the records in question. Sometimes, restrictions can lead to unexpected behavior.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you believe it is a system error, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or SAP directly for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to this error message for any patches or updates that may address the issue.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for entering data in SAP, especially regarding fields that are controlled by internal number assignment.
