• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_EANREC038 - Enter Int. number range for category before defining Additional intervals ?

  The SAP error message FSH_EANREC038 indicates that you need to enter an internal number range for a specific category before you can define additional intervals. This error typically occurs in the context of managing number ranges for EAN (European Article Number) or similar identification systems in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to define additional intervals for a number range category without first specifying an internal number range. In SAP, number ranges are used to ensure that each document or item has a unique identifier, and they must be properly configured before you can create or modify intervals.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path, which is usually found under:
  
  Logistics -> General -> Master Data -> EAN -> Define Number Ranges.
  
  
  
  
  
  Define the Internal Number Range:
  
  In the number range configuration screen, locate the category for which you are trying to define additional intervals.
  Ensure that an internal number range is defined for that category. If it is not defined, you will need to create one.
  Click on the option to create a new number range or edit an existing one, and specify the range details (e.g., the start and end numbers).
  
  
  
  Save Your Changes:
  
  After entering the internal number range, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Define Additional Intervals:
  
  Once the internal number range is set up, you can now proceed to define additional intervals for that category without encountering the error.

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully define additional intervals for your number range category. If you continue to experience issues, consider consulting with your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
