• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK805 - You can no longer assign another internal number ?

  The SAP error message BK805 ("You can no longer assign another internal number") typically occurs in the context of financial accounting, particularly when dealing with document numbers or internal number ranges. This error indicates that the system has reached the limit of the number range assigned for a particular document type or that the number range is no longer available for assignment.
  Causes:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The internal number range for a specific document type has been exhausted. This can happen if the number range is not sufficiently large to accommodate the volume of transactions being processed.
  Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured or may have been set to a fixed range that has been fully utilized.
  Document Type Settings: The document type associated with the transaction may have restrictions or settings that limit the assignment of new numbers.
  Archiving: If the system is set to archive old documents, it may not allow new assignments until the archiving process is completed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is set up correctly and that it has sufficient capacity.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it. This can be done in the transaction code SNRO or OBA7 (for financial accounting).
  You may need to create a new number range or adjust the existing one to allow for more numbers.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the document type in transaction code OBY6 (for document types) to ensure that it is configured to allow new number assignments.
  
  
  
  Check for Archiving Issues:
  
  If archiving is in process, ensure that it is completed. You can check the status of archiving in transaction code SARA.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance. They can provide insights into system settings and configurations.
