• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CB214 - You have assigned the last control recipe number within number range ?

  The SAP error message CB214 indicates that you have reached the last control recipe number within the defined number range for control recipes in the system. This typically occurs in the context of process industries where control recipes are used for production processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system has exhausted the available numbers in the defined number range for control recipes. Each control recipe is assigned a unique number, and once the maximum number in the range is reached, the system cannot assign a new number, leading to this error.
