• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCLM_BAM_MAINT059 - Number range & has external numbers. ?

  The SAP error message FCLM_BAM_MAINT059 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration in the SAP system, specifically that the number range you are trying to use has been defined as an external number range. This means that the system expects the numbers to be provided externally (manually entered) rather than being generated automatically by the system.
  Cause:
  
  External Number Range: The number range you are trying to use is set up as an external number range in the configuration. This means that the system does not automatically generate numbers for this range.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the number range may not be set correctly, or you may be trying to use a number range that is not intended for automatic generation.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  To do this, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  
  
  
  Provide a Number Manually:
