• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BUPA_FRG0130435 - Number range &1 for contract account class &2 is not external ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BUPA_FRG0130435 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific contract account class. The message states that the number range specified is not set as "external," which means that the system is expecting to generate numbers externally (e.g., through user input or external systems) rather than internally (automatically by the system).
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the specified contract account class is configured as "internal" instead of "external." This means that the system is trying to generate a number for a contract account, but it is not allowed to do so because the configuration does not permit external number assignment.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings for the number range might have been incorrectly defined during the configuration of the contract account class.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and possibly modify the number range settings for the specified contract account class. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Master Data -> Define Number Ranges for Contract Accounts.
  
  
  
  Check the Number Range:
  
  Find the number range that corresponds to the contract account class mentioned in the error message.
  Check the settings for this number range.
  
  
  
  Change to External Number Range:
  
  If the number range is set to "internal," change it to "external" if that is the desired configuration.
  Ensure that the number range is properly defined and that there are no overlaps with other number ranges.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Try to create or process the contract account again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
