Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >A586 - Document number is last number in number range ?

  The SAP error message A586: Document number is last number in number range typically occurs when you are trying to post a document (such as an invoice, journal entry, etc.) and the document number you are attempting to use is the last number in the defined number range for that document type. This means that there are no more available numbers in the number range to assign to new documents.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for the document type has been exhausted, meaning that all available document numbers have been used.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not be configured correctly, or it may not have been extended to accommodate more document numbers.
  Manual Number Assignment: If manual number assignment is being used, the last number may have been reached without a proper extension of the number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the document type you are working with (e.g., for accounting documents, it might be FBN1).
  Check the current number range intervals and extend them if necessary. You can add a new interval with a higher starting number.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Use transaction code SNUM to check the status of the number ranges and see how many numbers are available.
  If the number range is set to "internal," ensure that the system is configured to generate new numbers automatically.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  If applicable, check the settings for the document type in the configuration (transaction code OBY6 for financial documents) to ensure that the number range is correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Number:
  
  If you are manually entering a document number, try using a different number that is not the last one in the range.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the number range, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for assistance.
