• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BL015 - Reorganize number range for application log ?

  The SAP error message BL015, which states "Reorganize number range for application log," typically occurs when the number range for application logs has reached its limit. This can happen if the application logs are not being regularly archived or deleted, leading to a situation where the system cannot generate new application log entries.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for application logs has been fully utilized, meaning that there are no more available numbers to assign to new logs.
  Lack of Archiving: Application logs are not being archived or deleted regularly, causing the number range to fill up.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the number range settings for application logs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BL015 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Reorganize Number Range:
  
  Use transaction code SNUM to check the current status of the number ranges.

  Adjust Number Range Settings:
