Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADUN_AAP154 - Number range & must be internal! Please change your settings. ?

  The SAP error message HRPADUN_AAP154 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific process in the Human Resources (HR) module, particularly related to the "Number range & must be internal!" message. This typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a number (like an employee ID, payroll number, etc.) using an external number range, which is not allowed for certain processes that require internal number ranges.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the specific object (e.g., personnel numbers, payroll numbers) is set to external instead of internal. Internal number ranges are generated by the system, while external number ranges are user-defined.
  Incorrect Settings: The configuration settings in the number range object may not be set correctly, leading to the system expecting an internal number but finding an external one.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they might be incorrectly configured to use an external number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object (e.g., for personnel numbers, it might be HR_NUM).
  Check the settings for the number range. Ensure that the number range is set to internal.
  If it is set to external, you will need to change it to internal. This may require administrative access.
  
  
  
  Adjusting the Number Range:
  
  If you need to create a new internal number range, you can do so in the same transaction (SNRO) by creating a new number range object or adjusting the existing one.
  Make sure to define the intervals correctly and activate the number range.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom programs or enhancements that are trying to use this number range, review the code to ensure it is not attempting to use an external number range where an internal one is required.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific number range object you are working with for any additional configuration steps or requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the number generation works as expected.
