• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_CLOSING_ACT011 - Create a number range interval for ECS documents (GLE_AWREF) ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_CLOSING_ACT011 indicates that there is an issue with the number range interval for ECS (Electronic Cash Settlement) documents, specifically for the object GLE_AWREF. This error typically arises during the closing activities in the Financial Accounting (FI) module when the system attempts to create or process ECS documents but cannot find a valid number range interval.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the number range for ECS documents has not been defined or is not properly configured in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The number range intervals for ECS documents have not been created.
  The existing number range intervals are exhausted.
  The number range is not assigned to the relevant document type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to create or adjust the number range intervals for ECS documents. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> IMG -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Document Number Ranges -> Define Document Number Ranges.
  
  
  
  Create or Adjust Number Range:
  
  Look for the number range object related to ECS documents, which is GLE_AWREF.
  If it does not exist, create a new number range interval:
  
  Click on "Insert Interval" and define the interval (e.g., from 0000000001 to 0000009999).
  Ensure that the interval is not overlapping with other intervals and is sufficient for your needs.
  
  
  If it exists but is exhausted, you can extend the range or create a new interval.
  
  
  
  Assign the Number Range to the Document Type:
  
  Ensure that the number range is assigned to the appropriate document type used for ECS documents.
  This can typically be done in the same configuration area where you defined the number range.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify number ranges.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, perform a test transaction that would generate an ECS document to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
