• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GI534 - Document number does not lie in number interval ?

  The SAP error message GI534 ("Document number does not lie in number interval") typically occurs when there is an attempt to post a document (such as an invoice, goods movement, etc.) using a document number that is not within the defined number range for that document type. This can happen for various reasons, including configuration issues or incorrect document number usage.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the document type you are trying to use may not be properly configured or may have been exhausted.
  Document Type: The document type you are using may not be assigned to the correct number range.
  Document Number: The document number being used may have been manually entered and does not fall within the allowed range.
  System Settings: The system settings may have changed, affecting the number range assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object (e.g., for accounting documents, it could be FBN1).
  Check the intervals defined for the number range and ensure that the document number you are trying to use falls within these intervals.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend the number range. This can be done in transaction code SNRO or OBA7 (for financial documents).
  Ensure that the number range is set to "External" if you want to manually enter document numbers, or "Internal" if the system should generate them automatically.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Type Assignment:
  
  Check the assignment of the document type to the number range in the relevant configuration settings (e.g., in transaction code OBD2 for document types in financial accounting).
  Ensure that the document type you are using is correctly linked to the appropriate number range.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Document Number:
  
  If you are manually entering a document number, ensure that it is within the defined range. If unsure, allow the system to generate the document number automatically.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Configuration Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the settings and make necessary adjustments.
