• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F2044 - Number range & is not defined for object & ?

  The SAP error message F2044 indicates that a number range is not defined for a specific object. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a document (like an invoice, payment, etc.) in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, and the system cannot find a valid number range for the document type you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Definition: The number range for the specific document type has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may be defined but not assigned to the relevant document type or object.
