SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_NCE_BAS - Number conversion engine: messages

• Message number: 429

• Message text: This number range interval must have the highest shifting order

What causes this issue?

Number range ( &V1& / &V2& / &V3& / &V4& ) overlaps with other number
ranges. This means, for a group of number ranges that are mapped to the
same target number range, this number range must have the highest number
in the <ZK>Order</> field.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS429 - This number range interval must have the highest shifting order ?

  The SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS429 typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that there is an issue with the number range intervals defined in the system, specifically that the number range interval being processed does not have the highest shifting order.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range intervals are not configured correctly, meaning that the intervals do not follow the required order or hierarchy.
  Overlapping Intervals: There may be overlapping number range intervals that conflict with each other, leading to ambiguity in number assignment.
  Improper Shifting Order: The shifting order of the number ranges is not set correctly, which is essential for the system to determine which number range to use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Identify the number range object related to the error.
  Review the defined intervals and ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Shifting Order:
  
  Ensure that the number range intervals are defined with the correct shifting order. The interval with the highest shifting order should be the one that is processed first.
  You may need to adjust the intervals to ensure that they follow the correct hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Eliminate Overlaps:
  
  Check for any overlapping intervals and resolve them by adjusting the ranges so that they are distinct and do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration by running the migration or conversion process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to number range management for additional guidance on configuring number ranges correctly.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
