• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C0691 - The last message number within the number range has been assigned ?

  The SAP error message C0691, which states "The last message number within the number range has been assigned," typically occurs when the system has exhausted the available message numbers in a defined number range for a specific object or application. This can happen in various contexts, such as when dealing with messages in the SAP system, including application logs, error messages, or other number range-dependent objects.
