• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADUN154 - Number range &1 starting from &2 to &3 is not set as internal ?

  The SAP error message HRPADUN154 indicates that a specific number range is not configured as an internal number range in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) module operations, particularly when dealing with personnel numbers or other HR-related identifiers.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to generate a new number (e.g., a personnel number) using a number range that is defined as external rather than internal. In SAP, internal number ranges are automatically managed by the system, while external number ranges require manual input.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and configure the number range settings in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name related to the HR number range (e.g., HR_PERSNR for personnel numbers) and click on "Change".
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals:
  
  In the intervals section, check the defined number ranges.
  Ensure that the number range you are trying to use is set as "Internal". If it is set as "External", you will need to create or modify an interval to be internal.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Number Range:
  
  If necessary, create a new number range interval or modify an existing one to set it as internal.
  Make sure to define the start and end values appropriately.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Try to perform the action that previously resulted in the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.

  Authorization:

  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, remember to transport your changes to the quality and production environments as needed.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRPADUN154 error and ensure that the number range is correctly configured for internal use.
