• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60990 - More numbers requested than available during number assignment ?

  The SAP error message "60990: More numbers requested than available during number assignment" typically occurs when a system attempts to assign a number from a number range that has been exhausted. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating documents, orders, or other entities that require unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the number range defined for a particular object (like sales orders, purchase orders, etc.) has been fully utilized, meaning there are no more numbers available for assignment.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings, such as incorrect intervals or limits set for the number range.
  Concurrent Requests: If multiple users or processes are trying to request numbers from the same range simultaneously, it can lead to a situation where the available numbers are quickly consumed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check its current status to see how many numbers are available.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by modifying the number range intervals.
  This can be done in the transaction code SNRO or OBA7 (for financial documents) depending on the object type.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure they are set correctly.
  Make sure that the number range is not set to a very small interval.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Issues:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks or issues in the system that might be preventing the assignment of numbers.
  Sometimes, a system restart or a check for background jobs might be necessary.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Implement monitoring for number range usage to prevent future occurrences of this issue. This can include alerts when the number range is nearing its limit.
