• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P305 - Number range is full for object & ?

  The SAP error message 6P305 indicates that the number range for a specific object is full. This typically occurs when the system has exhausted all available numbers in a defined number range for a particular object, such as a document type, customer, vendor, or other entities that require unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range has been completely used up. 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 assign a new number.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the number range, such as incorrect settings or limits that were not anticipated.

  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Check the current number range intervals and extend them if necessary. You can add new intervals or increase the upper limit of the existing range.

  Check for Configuration Errors:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Make sure that the number range is not inadvertently restricted or limited.
