GK885 - Details

• The SAP error message GK885 indicates that a number range for a specific dimension and year is almost exhausted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost centers, internal orders, or other objects that require unique identifiers.
  
  Cause:
  
  Exhaustion of Number Range: The number range defined for a specific dimension (e.g., cost center, internal order) is nearing its limit. Each object created in SAP requires a unique number, and if the defined range is close to being fully utilized, this error will be triggered.
  
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been configured properly, or the upper limit may be set too low for the volume of transactions being processed.
  High Transaction Volume: A significant increase in the number of transactions or objects being created in a specific year or dimension can lead to rapid consumption of the available number range.
