• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_CN861 - Last invoice/delivery number reached ?

  The SAP error message ICC_CN861 "Last invoice/delivery number reached" typically occurs in the context of billing or delivery processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system has reached the maximum number of invoices or deliveries that can be processed for a particular document or transaction type.
  Cause:
  
  
  Number Range Exhaustion: The most common cause of this error is that the number range for the invoice or delivery document type has been exhausted. Each document type in SAP is assigned a specific number range, and once the last number in that range is used, the system will not allow any further documents to be created until the number range is adjusted.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the number range settings for the specific document type, leading to incorrect handling of document numbers.
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on the number of documents that can be created, leading to this error when the limit is reached.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the invoice or delivery document type that is causing the error.
  Check the current status of the number range and see if it has been exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding more numbers to the range.
  This can be done in transaction code SNRO by selecting the appropriate number range object and adjusting the upper limit.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type settings are correctly configured in the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., for billing documents, you can check in SPRO under Sales and Distribution > Billing > Billing Documents > Define Billing Document Types).
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom developments or enhancements that might affect the number range handling, review those to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary authorizations to change number ranges or configurations, consult with your SAP Basis or system administration team for assistance.
