  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8I705 - Number key not found ?

    The SAP error message 8I705: Number key not found typically occurs in the context of number range management, particularly when the system is unable to find a number key that is required for a specific operation, such as creating a document or transaction.

    Causes:

    1. Missing Number Range Object: The number range object that is being referenced may not be defined in the system.
    2. Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may not be assigned to the relevant document type or transaction.
    3. Number Range Exhaustion: The number range may have been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range.
    5. Configuration Errors: There may be configuration issues in the number range settings.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Number Range Configuration:

      • Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check if the relevant number range object exists.
      • Ensure that the number range is properly defined and active.
    2. Assign Number Range:

      • If the number range is not assigned, you can assign it to the relevant document type or transaction using transaction SNRO or through the customizing settings in the relevant module (e.g., FI, MM, SD).
    3. Check Number Range Status:

      • Use transaction SNUM to check the status of the number range. If it is exhausted, you may need to extend the range or create a new number range.
    4. Review Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.

      • Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific guidance related to your configuration.
