How To Fix HRALX00_ORG309 - The subgroup of number range BU_PARTNER is wrongly defined

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRALX00_ORG - HR-ALE-Org Enhancement

• Message number: 309

• Message text: The subgroup of number range BU_PARTNER is wrongly defined

What causes this issue?

The subgroup of number range object BU_PARTNER has been wrongly defined.

How to fix this error?

The subgroup comprises a two-character prefix and an eight digit number.
The two-character prefix must match in both cases. A specific eight
digit number must be used. The first number is composed of eight zeros,
the second number, eight nines.
Examples:
AA 00000000 AA 99999999
AB 00000000 AB 99999999
ZR 00000000 ZR 99999999
LG 00000000 LG 99999999
LG = Prefix
00000000/99999999 = Suffix
The two-character prefix is not taken into consideration when the number
is selected from number range 00000000-99999999. Therefore, it is always
the same.
Make any changes in the number range object BU_PARTNER in transaction
SNUM.
