  The SAP error message GJ210, which states "Has External Number Range Assignment," typically occurs in the context of document number assignment in SAP, particularly in the area of Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).

  If it is appropriate for your business process, consider changing the document type configuration to use an internal number range instead of an external one. This can be done in the configuration settings for the document type.
  Navigate to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Document ? Document Types ? Define Document Types.
  Select the relevant document type and change the number range assignment from external to internal if needed.
