• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_CN862 - Last invoice/delivery number exceeded - no posting ?

  The SAP error message ICC_CN862, which states "Last invoice/delivery number exceeded - no posting," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC) module. This error indicates that the system has reached the maximum limit for invoice or delivery numbers, which prevents further postings from being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Exceeded: The error usually arises when the defined number range for invoices or deliveries has been exhausted. Each invoice or delivery is assigned a unique number, and once the maximum number in the range is reached, the system cannot generate new numbers.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the number range settings, such as incorrect upper limits or not having enough numbers defined in the range.
  System Settings: The system may not be set up to automatically extend the number range when it is close to being exhausted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) in SAP.
  Find the relevant number range object for invoices or deliveries (e.g., CINVOICE or similar).
  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 adjusting the upper limit.
  Ensure that the new range is sufficient to accommodate future postings.
  
  
  
  Create New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new number range and assign it to the relevant document type.
  Make sure to update any related configurations to use the new number range.
  
  
  
  Review System Settings:
  
  Check if there are any settings that allow for automatic extension of number ranges or alerts when limits are approaching.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test posting to ensure that the error is resolved and that new invoices or deliveries can be processed without issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed steps on managing number ranges and understanding the implications of changes.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  Monitoring: Implement monitoring for number range usage to proactively manage and avoid similar issues in the future.
