  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GL221 - No number interval found ?

    The SAP error message GL221 "No number interval found" typically occurs when you are trying to post a document in the General Ledger (GL) and the system cannot find a valid number range for the document type you are using. This can happen for various reasons, such as configuration issues or missing number range intervals.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Number Range Interval: The number range for the document type you are trying to use has not been defined or is not active.
    2. Number Range Object Not Assigned: The number range object may not be assigned to the relevant document type.
    3. Number Range Interval is Exhausted: The defined number range has been exhausted, meaning all available numbers have been used up.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range.

    Solution:

    1. Check Number Range Configuration:

      • Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
      • Enter the relevant number range object (e.g., F_BKPF for accounting documents) and check if the number range intervals are defined.
      • If not, you will need to create a new number range interval.
    2. Define Number Range Intervals:

      • Use transaction code OBA7 to define the number range intervals for the relevant document type.
      • Ensure that the intervals are active and that they cover the range of numbers you need.
    3. Assign Number Range to Document Type:

      • Use transaction code OBH2 to assign the number range to the appropriate document type.
      • Make sure that the document type you are using is linked to the correct number range object.
    4. Check for Exhausted Number Ranges:

      • If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend the range or create a new interval.
      • You can do this in the same configuration area where you define number ranges.
    5. User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to post documents using the specified document type and number range.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SNRO: Number Range Objects
      • OBA7: Maintain Number Ranges for Document Types
      • OBH2: Assign Number Ranges to Document Types
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed steps on managing number ranges and document types.
    • Support: If the issue persists after checking the configurations, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the GL221 error and successfully post your documents in SAP.
