How To Fix CNV_NCE_BAS103 - NR interval &1 overlaps with another NR interval

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_NCE_BAS - Number conversion engine: messages

• Message number: 103

• Message text: NR interval &1 overlaps with another NR interval

What causes this issue?

The system has determined that two target intervals overlap.

System Response

The system generates number range interval mapping values from existing
subobject mapping values. If a number range interval exists in a source
subobject, but does not exist in a target one, the system creates a
corresponding interval in the target subobject and determines its limits
automatically. This determination has shown that the new number range
interval overlaps with an already existing, or another new number range
interval.
Example:
Subobject mapping values (company codes):
A001 -> A002
A002 -> A002 (priority company code)
Number range intervals (interval 01/2010 does not exist in company code
A002):
RF_BELEG,,A001,,01,,2010,,1000000000,,1999999999
RF_BELEG,,A002,,02,,2010,,1000000000,,1999999999
The system creates a target interval A002/01/2010 according to the
subobject mapping values. The new interval overlaps with the existing
interval A002/02/2010.
Note:
If a target subobject differs from a priority subobject, the
determination of the target number range intervals is based on the
priority subobject.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS103 - NR interval &1 overlaps with another NR interval ?

  The SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS103 indicates that there is an overlap in the number range (NR) intervals defined in the system. This typically occurs during data migration or when configuring number ranges for various objects in SAP. The error message specifically states that the number range interval you are trying to define overlaps with another existing number range interval.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Number Ranges: The primary cause of this error is that the number range you are trying to create or modify overlaps with an existing number range. For example, if you have an existing number range from 1000 to 2000 and you try to create a new number range from 1500 to 2500, this will trigger the error because the ranges overlap.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: This can also happen if there are mistakes in the configuration of number ranges, such as incorrect start and end values.
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration, if the number ranges are not properly defined or if there are conflicts with existing data, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Number Ranges: Review the existing number ranges in the system to identify any overlaps. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges).
  
  
  Adjust Number Range Intervals: Modify the new number range interval to ensure that it does not overlap with any existing intervals. This may involve changing the start and end values of the new number range.
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Conflicting Ranges: If the existing number range is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it or adjusting its values to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to number range configuration for specific guidelines and best practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SNRO (Number Range Objects) to manage number ranges and check for overlaps.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error.
  Data Migration Tools: If this error occurs during data migration, ensure that the migration tools or programs you are using are correctly configured to handle number ranges.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CNV_NCE_BAS103 error and successfully configure your number ranges in SAP.
