• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRD_MDA134 - Assigned number &1 is within the critical area of interval &2 ?

  The SAP error message CRD_MDA134 indicates that an assigned number falls within a critical area of a defined interval. This typically occurs in the context of number ranges, where certain numbers are reserved or restricted for specific purposes, and the number you are trying to assign is within that restricted range.
  Cause:
  
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number you are trying to assign is within a critical area of a number range interval that has been defined in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The number range being set up to reserve certain numbers for specific processes or transactions.
  The critical area being defined to prevent the use of certain numbers that may be reserved for system use or for specific business processes.
  
  
  
  Custom Configuration: If your organization has customized the number range settings, it may have defined critical areas that restrict the use of certain numbers.

  If changing the configuration is not feasible, consider using a different number that does not fall within the critical area.
