  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BKK_PRENOTE201 - Internal number of prenote not generated; Number range overflow ?

    The SAP error message BKK_PRENOTE201 indicates that there is an issue with the internal number generation for prenotes in the Bank Accounting module. Specifically, it suggests that the number range for prenotes has overflowed, meaning that the system has run out of available numbers to assign to new prenotes.

    Cause:

    1. Number Range Configuration: The number range for prenotes may not be properly configured or has been exhausted. This can happen if the number range is set too low or if there has been an unusually high volume of prenote transactions.
    2. Number Range Overlap: There may be overlapping configurations in the number range settings, leading to conflicts.
    3. System Settings: The system settings may not allow for automatic number generation, or the number range may not be set to allow for sufficient numbers.

    Solution:

    1. Check Number Range Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
      • Look for the number range object related to prenotes (usually BKK_PRENOTE).
      • Check the current status of the number range and see if it has reached its limit.
    2. Extend the Number Range:

      • If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by creating a new interval or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
      • Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
    3. Adjust Number Range Settings:

      • If necessary, adjust the settings to allow for a larger number range or to enable automatic number generation.
      • Make sure that the number range is set to "Internal" if you want the system to generate numbers automatically.
    4. Consult with Basis Team:

      • If you are not authorized to make changes to number ranges, consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator team to assist with the configuration.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the prenote number generation works correctly.
