• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESFM_GVA005 - Limit reached for interval & from number range &! ?

  The SAP error message ESFM_GVA005 indicates that the limit for a specific interval has been reached for a number range. This typically occurs when the system has exhausted the available numbers in a defined number range for a particular object or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the number range defined for a specific object (like documents, invoices, etc.) has been completely used up.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings, such as incorrect intervals or limits set.
  High Volume of Transactions: If there is a sudden spike in the volume of transactions, it can lead to the number range being exhausted more quickly than anticipated.
  
  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 intervals.
  Identify if the current interval is exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by creating a new interval or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
  This can be done in transaction code SNRO or SNUM (depending on your SAP version).
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure they are set correctly.
  Make sure that the intervals are defined properly and that there are no gaps or overlaps.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Implement monitoring for number range usage to prevent future occurrences. This can include alerts or reports that notify administrators when the number range is nearing its limit.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the number range object you are working with.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to number ranges.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to number ranges, as this typically requires administrative privileges.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
