• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GL220 - No free numbers available in the number interval ?

  The SAP error message GL220 "No free numbers available in the number interval" typically occurs when the system is unable to find a free number within a specified number range for a document type. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating a new document (like a journal entry, invoice, etc.) that requires a unique identifier.
  Causes:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the document type has been completely used up, meaning all possible numbers in that range have been assigned.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range configuration may not be set up correctly, or the number range may not be active for the document type you are trying to create.
  Number Range Intervals: The number range intervals may not be properly defined or may have been inadvertently deleted or modified.
  Document Type Settings: The document type you are using may not be linked to a valid number range.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the document type you are working with.
  Check the intervals defined for that object to see if they are exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding new intervals.
  This can be done in the transaction code SNRO or OBA7 (for financial documents).
  Make sure to define a new interval that provides enough numbers for future use.
  
  
  
  Activate Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active and assigned to the correct document type.
  You can check this in the configuration settings for the specific module (e.g., FI, MM, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OBY6 (for financial documents) or the relevant configuration transaction for your module.
  Verify that the document type is correctly linked to the appropriate number range.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the number range configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for assistance.
