• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKVT017 - Caution: Number range &1 (object &2) has reached upper limit ?

  The SAP error message FKKVT017 indicates that a number range for a specific object has reached its upper limit. This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) modules, where number ranges are used to generate unique identifiers for various documents, such as invoices, payments, or contracts.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system attempts to generate a new document number, but the defined number range for that object has exhausted its available numbers. This can happen if:
  
  The number range was not adequately defined to accommodate the volume of transactions.
  The number range has not been extended or adjusted over time as the business has grown.
  The number range is set to a fixed limit and has reached that limit.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to extend or adjust the number range for the affected object. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Maintenance:
  
  Use transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) or OBA7 (for FI-CA specific number ranges).
  Alternatively, you can navigate through the SAP menu: Tools > Administration > Number Range Maintenance.
  
  
  
  Identify the Number Range Object:
  
  Enter the object name (as indicated in the error message) to find the relevant number range.
  
  
  
  Change the Number Range:
  
  Select the number range that has reached its limit.
  You can either:
  
  Extend the existing number range by increasing the upper limit.
  Create a new number range if you want to keep the existing one intact and start using a new range.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Attempt to perform the action that triggered the error again to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
