• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IBRO058 - Maximum reference number &1 reached ?

  The SAP error message IBRO058, which states "Maximum reference number &1 reached," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when the maximum limit for reference numbers has been reached for a particular object or transaction. This can happen in various modules, such as Inventory Management (IM) or other areas where reference numbers are used to track documents or transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Reference Number Limit: Each SAP system has a predefined limit for reference numbers, which can be set in the configuration. When this limit is reached, the system will not allow any new entries that require a reference number.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for number ranges may not be set correctly, or the number range may not have been extended to accommodate more entries.
  Data Cleanup: In some cases, the system may not have been properly maintained, leading to an accumulation of unused or obsolete reference numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the reference number in question.
  Check the current status of the number range and see if it has reached its maximum limit.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is full, you can extend it by adjusting the upper limit in the number range configuration.
  This can be done by selecting the number range and modifying the settings to allow for more entries.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If applicable, consider cleaning up old or unused reference numbers to free up space.
  This may involve archiving old data or deleting unnecessary entries, depending on your organization's data retention policies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific guidance on managing number ranges and resolving this error.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that new entries can be created without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
