• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60887 - Number range object "&", ID "&" is full ?

  The SAP error message 60887 indicates that a specific number range object has reached its limit and can no longer generate new numbers. This typically occurs when the defined range of numbers for that object has been exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the object has been fully utilized. For example, if the number range is set from 1 to 1000, and all numbers have been assigned, the system will throw this error when trying to generate a new number.
  Configuration Issues: The number range might not have been configured correctly, or the intervals may not have been set up to accommodate the expected volume of transactions.
  Incorrect Object Usage: The number range object may be used in a way that was not anticipated, leading to quicker exhaustion of the range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object (indicated by the "&" in the error message).
  Check the current intervals and extend them if necessary. You can add new intervals or increase the upper limit of existing intervals.
  Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Unused Numbers:
  
  Sometimes, numbers may be reserved but not used. You can check for gaps in the number range and potentially release unused numbers if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the number range is configured correctly for the intended use. This includes checking the intervals and ensuring they are appropriate for the expected volume of transactions.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Implement monitoring to keep track of number range usage, so you can proactively extend the range before it runs out.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for best practices regarding number range management.
