• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I4126 - Number & does not lie within external number range interval ?

  The SAP error message I4126 ("Number & does not lie within external number range interval") typically occurs when you are trying to use a number that is outside the defined external number range for a specific object or document type in SAP. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating documents, invoices, or other entities that require a unique number assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number you are trying to use is not within the defined external number range for the specific document type or object. Each document type in SAP has a defined range of numbers that can be used, and if you attempt to use a number outside this range, you will encounter this error.
  Number Range Assignment: The number range may not be properly assigned to the document type you are working with.
  Number Range Status: The number range may be exhausted, meaning that all available numbers within the range have been used up.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the document type you are working with.
  Check the defined intervals for the external number range and ensure that the number you are trying to use falls within this range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend the range or create a new number range.
  To do this, go to transaction code SNRO and select the appropriate number range object. You can then adjust the intervals as needed.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is correctly assigned to the relevant document type. This can usually be done in the customizing settings for the specific module you are working with (e.g., FI, MM, SD).
  Use transaction code OBAS (for FI) or similar transactions for other modules to check and assign number ranges.
  
  
  
  Use Automatic Number Assignment:
  
  If applicable, switch to automatic number assignment instead of manual entry to avoid this error.
