• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FS_CYT012 - Number range &1 has an external number assignment ?

  The SAP error message FS_CYT012 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific object in the SAP system. The message states that the number range you are trying to use has been set up for external number assignment, which means that the system expects the user to manually enter the number rather than automatically generating it.
  Cause:
  
  External Number Assignment: The number range you are trying to use is configured for external number assignment. This means that the system does not automatically generate numbers for this range, and it requires the user to provide a number manually.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be set up correctly for the intended use, or the user may be trying to use a number range that is not appropriate for the transaction being performed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Manual Entry: If the number range is set for external assignment, you need to manually enter a valid number within the defined range when prompted.
  Change Number Range Configuration: If you want the system to automatically generate numbers, you will need to change the configuration of the number range to allow for internal number assignment. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the number range configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: SNRO).
  Finding the relevant number range object.
  Changing the assignment from external to internal if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to use the number range and perform the required actions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SNRO (Number Range Objects) to view and modify number range settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on configuring number ranges and understanding the implications of external vs. internal number assignment.
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If you are unsure about changing the configuration or if it impacts other processes, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FS_CYT012 error and proceed with your transaction.
