• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_NF_WRITER102 - Interval &1 for nota fiscal number group &2 is marked as external ?

  The SAP error message ICC_NF_WRITER102 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Nota Fiscal (NF) number intervals in the system. Specifically, the error states that the interval for a given Nota Fiscal number group is marked as external, which means that the system expects the number to be managed externally rather than internally.
  Cause:
  
  External Number Range Configuration: The Nota Fiscal number group is configured to use an external number range, but the system is trying to generate or process a Nota Fiscal number within that group.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings for the Nota Fiscal, leading to the system not being able to generate a number as expected.
  Missing External Number Assignment: If the external number range is not properly assigned or managed, the system will not be able to retrieve a valid number.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the Nota Fiscal number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is correctly set up as external if that is the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign External Number:
  
  If the number range is supposed to be external, ensure that the external number assignment is correctly set up. This may involve coordinating with the external system or process that manages the Nota Fiscal numbers.
  
  
  
  Change to Internal Number Range:
  
  If you want the system to manage the Nota Fiscal numbers internally, you can change the configuration to use an internal number range instead. This can be done in the configuration settings for the Nota Fiscal.

  Review the SAP documentation related to Nota Fiscal and number range management to ensure that all settings are correctly configured.
