• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CD820 - Reorganize the number range interval for change documents ?

  The SAP error message CD820 indicates that the number range interval for change documents is full, which means that the system has exhausted the available numbers in the defined range for change documents. This can occur in various modules where change documents are used, such as in Material Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), and others.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for change documents has been completely utilized, and there are no more numbers available for new change documents.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been configured properly, or the intervals may be too small for the volume of change documents being generated.
  System Settings: The system may not have been set up to automatically extend the number range when it reaches its limit.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CD820 error, you need to reorganize the number range interval for change documents. Here are the steps to do this:
