• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCE402 - Number range 01 is not internal ?

  The SAP error message FMCE402 indicates that the number range you are trying to use (in this case, "01") is not defined as an internal number range. This error typically occurs in the context of Financial Management (FM) or other modules where number ranges are utilized for various document types.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range "01" is likely configured as an external number range in the system. In SAP, number ranges can be defined as either internal or external. Internal number ranges are generated by the system, while external number ranges are provided by the user.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The document type or transaction you are trying to execute may be incorrectly assigned to use an external number range instead of an internal one.
  Missing Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured in the system, or it may not exist at all.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error (e.g., FM number ranges).
  Check the configuration for the number range "01" to see if it is set as internal or external.
  
  
  
  Change Number Range Type:
  
  If you need to use an internal number range, you may need to change the configuration of the number range "01" to be internal.
  This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by editing the number range settings.
  
  
  
  Assign Correct Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the document type or transaction is correctly assigned to use the internal number range. This can usually be done in the configuration settings for the specific module (e.g., FM configuration).
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new internal number range if "01" cannot be changed or if it is already in use for external purposes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific guidance on number range configuration.
