• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR0007 - Number range &1 in company code &2 is assigned externally ?

  The SAP error message FTR0007 indicates that the number range specified for a particular company code is set to be managed externally. This means that the system expects the number range to be provided externally rather than being generated automatically by SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or process a financial transaction (such as a financial contract or a treasury transaction) that requires a number from a number range that is configured to be managed externally. This typically happens in the following scenarios:
  
  Configuration Issue: The number range for the specified company code is set to "external" in the configuration settings.
  Incorrect Transaction Processing: You may be trying to create a transaction that requires an internal number assignment while the number range is set to external.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FTR0007 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OAVN (for number range management).

  If you want the system to generate numbers automatically, you may need to change the number range from "external" to "internal".
  
  
  
  Assign Number Externally:
  
  If the number range is intended to be external, ensure that you are providing the required number manually when creating the transaction.
  Make sure that the number you are providing falls within the defined range.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to understand the implications of changing number range settings.
