• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKMA020 - Number range &1 (object &2) in critical range ?

  The SAP error message FKKMA020 indicates that a specific number range for a given object is in a critical state. This typically means that the number range is approaching its upper limit and may soon run out of available numbers. This can affect various functionalities in SAP, particularly in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the number range defined for a specific object (like invoices, contracts, etc.) is nearing its maximum limit. Each object in SAP has a defined number range, and when the system is close to exhausting this range, it triggers this warning to prevent any disruptions in processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name (e.g., FKKMA for contract accounts) and check the current status of the number range.
  Review the defined intervals and see how many numbers are still available.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is indeed close to its limit, you can extend it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the transaction code OAVN (for FI-CA number range management).
  Select the relevant number range and adjust the upper limit to allow for more numbers.
  Ensure that the new range does not conflict with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range for the object.
  This can also be done in the same configuration area (OAVN) by defining a new number range and assigning it to the relevant object.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  After making changes, monitor the usage of the number range to ensure that it does not reach critical levels again.
  Set up alerts or regular checks to proactively manage number ranges.
