How To Fix FMCA_ISR_EN420 - Do not use number range &1; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMCA_ISR_EN -

• Message number: 420

• Message text: Do not use number range &1; see long text

What causes this issue?

Event P334 is implemented in the system, but a number range whose upper
interval boundary is greater than 100000000000 is used. This is not
allowed and the following example explains why:
Number range '01' is defined from 100000000000 to 199999999999 and
number range '02' from 010000000000 to 019999999999. A check digit is
calculated for numbers from number range '02'. Let's assume check digit
9 is calculated for 012345678900 which was taken from number range
'02'.After appending the check digit to the form number it becomes
123456789009. However, this new form bundle number 123456789009 is a
valid one from the number range '01' that is it either already exists in
the system or it could be taken for a form number assigned to from num
ber range '01' later on.
