• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B513 - NF Number range not internal ?

  The SAP error message 8B513 indicates that the number range you are trying to use is not defined as an internal number range. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or process a document that requires a number from a number range that is set up to be external, but the system is expecting an internal number.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the document type you are working with is configured as an external number range instead of an internal one.
  Document Type Settings: The document type you are using may not be set up correctly to use internal number ranges.
  User Settings: The user profile or transaction settings may be incorrectly configured to expect an internal number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the document type you are working with.
  Check the configuration to see if the number range is set as internal or external. If it is external, you may need to change it to internal if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  Go to transaction OBA7 (Document Type Configuration).
  Check the settings for the document type you are using and ensure that it is configured to use an internal number range if that is what you need.
  
  
  
  User Profile Settings:
  
  Check if there are any user-specific settings that might be affecting the number range behavior.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to use the internal number range.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the number range configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant to ensure that the changes align with your organization's processes.
