• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ853 - Last number in number range &1 (object &2) was assigned ?

  The SAP error message EZ853 indicates that the last number in a specified number range has been assigned. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a new document or record that requires a unique identifier from a number range, but the number range has been exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the object (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, etc.) has reached its maximum limit, and no more numbers are available for assignment.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not be properly configured to allow for sufficient numbers or may not have been extended to accommodate future needs.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The object may be incorrectly assigned to a number range that is not intended for it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object (indicated by &2 in the error message).
  Check the current number range intervals and extend them if necessary. You can add new intervals to allow for more numbers.
  Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the object is assigned to the correct number range. You can check this in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant area (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management) and verify the number range assignment.
  
  
  
  Review Usage:
  
  Analyze the usage of the number range to understand how quickly it is being consumed. This can help in planning for future extensions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
