• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HU_VV0C004 - Uniqueness for number range object is limited to one client ?

  The SAP error message HU_VV0C004 indicates that there is an issue with the uniqueness of a number range object that is limited to a single client. This typically occurs in the context of handling handling units (HUs) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or other related modules.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is an attempt to use a number range that is defined as client-specific, but the system is trying to access or create a number that is not unique across clients. In SAP, number ranges can be defined as either client-specific or cross-client. If a number range is client-specific, it means that the numbers generated by that range are unique only within that specific client.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the number range object that is causing the issue (for example, HU for handling units).
  Check the configuration of the number range to see if it is set as client-specific.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range Settings:
  
  If the number range is indeed client-specific and you need to use it across multiple clients, you may need to create a new number range that is defined as cross-client.
  Alternatively, ensure that you are working within the correct client context when trying to create or access the number.
  
  
  
  Check for Existing Numbers:
  
  Ensure that the number you are trying to use does not already exist in the system for the specified client. If it does, you may need to adjust your logic to use a different number or handle the existing one appropriately.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to handling units and number ranges for any specific guidelines or best practices.
