• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DG255 - Overflow in interval &1, number range &2 ?

  The SAP error message DG255, which states "Overflow in interval &1, number range &2," typically occurs when the system attempts to generate a new number from a number range that has reached its maximum limit. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating new documents, orders, or other entities that rely on number ranges.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range has been completely used up. For example, if the number range is defined from 1 to 1000, and all numbers have been assigned, any further attempts to generate a new number will result in this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the number range intervals, such as overlapping intervals or incorrect settings.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or bugs can lead to incorrect handling of number ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object and check the current status of the number range. Look for the last number assigned and the maximum limit.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to transaction code SNRO.
  Selecting the number range object and editing the intervals to increase the upper limit.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range and assigning it to the relevant object.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure there are no overlaps or misconfigurations.
  Ensure that the number range is properly assigned to the relevant document types or objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the number range object you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the new or extended number range is functioning correctly and that the error does not reoccur.
