• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ221 - Number not in number range interval & & & ?

  The SAP error message FQ221 ("Number not in number range interval") typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a document (such as an invoice, payment, or other financial document) that requires a number from a specific number range, but the number you are trying to use is not available in that range. This can happen for various reasons, such as the number range being exhausted or not properly configured.
  Causes:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for the document type you are trying to create has been exhausted, meaning all available numbers have been used.
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured in the system, or the interval may not include the number you are trying to use.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The document type may not have a number range assigned to it, or the assigned range is not active.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the document type you are working with (e.g., FBN1 for financial documents).
  Check the intervals to ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are available numbers.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adding new intervals or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
  
  
  
  Activate Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active. If it is not, you may need to activate it in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or process the document. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
