• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J172 - Number range interval does not exist ?

  The SAP error message 9J172 indicates that a number range interval does not exist for the specified object. This typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a new document or record, but the number range configuration for that document type has not been properly set up.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Interval: The number range interval for the specific document type or object has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range object may not be correctly assigned to the document type or may have been deleted or deactivated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range configuration.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object and check if the intervals are defined.
  If not, you will need to create a new number range interval.
  
  
  
  Create/Modify Number Range Interval:
  
  Use transaction code SNRO to access the number range object.
  Select the object and click on "Intervals" to create or modify the intervals.
  Ensure that the intervals are active and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Document Type:
  
  If applicable, check the configuration in the relevant module (e.g., FI, MM, SD) to ensure that the number range is assigned to the correct document type.
  Use transaction codes like OBD2 (for FI) or OMH1 (for MM) to check the assignment.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
