• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AXT_COMMON101 - Counter overflow for number range &1 ?

  The SAP error message AXT_COMMON101, which indicates a "Counter overflow for number range &1," typically occurs when the system has exhausted the available numbers in a specified number range. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating new documents, orders, or other entities that rely on a specific number range.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range has reached its maximum limit. For example, if the number range is defined as 1 to 9999, and the last used number is 9999, any attempt to generate a new number will result in an overflow error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be configured correctly, or it may not have been extended to accommodate the expected volume of transactions.
  System Settings: In some cases, the system settings or the way the number range is defined (e.g., internal vs. external) may lead to issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Number Range Status: Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the status of the number range in question. Look for the last number used and the defined limits.
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to transaction code SNRO.
  Finding the relevant number range object.
  Adjusting the upper limit to a higher value.
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range: If extending the existing number range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range and assigning it to the relevant object.
  Check for Configuration Errors: Ensure that the number range is correctly configured in the relevant customizing settings (e.g., in the IMG settings).
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific number range object for any additional guidance or best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SNRO: To manage number range objects.
  SNUM: To display number ranges.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to number ranges.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify number ranges, as this typically requires administrative privileges.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
