• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EB244 - Do not enter a document no.; Number internally issued for no.range &1(&2) ?

  The SAP error message EB244, which states "Do not enter a document no.; Number internally issued for no.range &1(&2)," typically occurs when you are trying to manually enter a document number in a situation where the system is configured to automatically generate document numbers. This is common in various SAP modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Materials Management (MM), where document numbers are assigned based on predefined number ranges.
  Cause:
  
  Automatic Number Assignment: The system is set up to automatically assign document numbers for a specific number range. When you attempt to manually enter a document number, the system prevents this action to maintain data integrity.
  Configuration Settings: The number range for the document type you are working with is configured to be internally managed, meaning the system will generate the document number automatically.
  Incorrect Document Type: You may be using a document type that is not allowed for manual entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  Do Not Enter a Document Number: Simply leave the document number field blank. The system will automatically generate the document number when you save the document.
  Check Configuration: If you believe that manual entry should be allowed, check the configuration settings for the number range and document type in the relevant SAP module. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to adjust the settings.
  Use the Correct Document Type: Ensure that you are using the correct document type that allows for manual entry if that is your intention. Some document types are specifically configured for internal number assignment.
  
  Related Information:
