• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /EACA/GL_DOCNUMBER665 - Intervals already exist for & &, no copying possible ?

  The SAP error message /EACA/GL_DOCNUMBER665 indicates that there are already existing intervals for the specified document number range, which prevents the copying of document numbers. This typically occurs in the context of financial document processing, where the system is trying to create or copy a document number that falls within an already defined range.
  Cause:
  
  
  Existing Intervals: The error is triggered because the document number you are trying to use is already covered by an existing interval in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The document number range has been defined with specific intervals that overlap with the number you are trying to copy or create.
  There are multiple configurations or settings that define the same number range.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the number ranges in the financial accounting module (FI) or the controlling module (CO).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the number range object related to the document number you are trying to use.
  Look for existing intervals that may overlap with the number you are trying to copy or create.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges:
  
  If you find that the existing intervals are indeed overlapping, you may need to adjust the intervals. This can involve:
  
  Deleting or modifying the existing intervals.
  Creating new intervals that do not conflict with existing ones.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about how to adjust the number ranges, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team. They can provide guidance on how to properly configure number ranges without causing conflicts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the number ranges, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that document numbers can be created or copied as intended.
