• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 88654 - Number range &1 is internal -> derivation from material no. not possible ?

  The SAP error message 88654, which states "Number range &1 is internal -> derivation from material no. not possible," typically occurs when there is an issue with the number range configuration in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of material management or when trying to create or derive certain objects (like documents or records) based on material numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Number Range: The error indicates that the number range being used is defined as "internal." Internal number ranges are automatically generated by the system, and they cannot be derived from external sources like material numbers.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings for the specific object you are trying to create or derive.
  Missing or Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The number range might not be correctly assigned to the relevant document type or object type in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is set up correctly and that it is appropriate for the type of document or object you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Change Number Range Type:
  
  If the number range is set as internal and you need to derive it from a material number, consider changing the number range type to "external" if that fits your business process.
  This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adjusting the settings for the number range object.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings:
  
  Check the material master settings to ensure that the material number is correctly defined and that it aligns with the number range settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to number range management and material management to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configurations, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a production environment.
