• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ID_WT034 - Numbering is not activated but numbering parameters are entered ?

  The SAP error message ID_WT034 ("Numbering is not activated but numbering parameters are entered") typically occurs when you attempt to use a numbering system in a transaction or process where the numbering feature has not been activated in the system settings. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), or others where document numbering is relevant.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Numbering Not Activated: The numbering system for the specific document type or process has not been activated in the configuration settings.
  Parameters Entered: You have entered parameters for numbering (like number ranges) in the transaction, but the system does not recognize them because the numbering feature is not enabled.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Numbering Activation:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP. This is usually found in the SPRO transaction (SAP Project Reference Object).
  Navigate to the specific module (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management) and look for the section related to document numbering or number range management.
  Ensure that the numbering is activated for the relevant document type.
  
  
  
  Activate Numbering:
  
  If it is not activated, you will need to activate it. This may involve defining number ranges and assigning them to the document types.
  Make sure to save your changes and transport them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Number Range Settings:
  
  Check if the number range intervals are correctly defined and not overlapping with other document types.
  Ensure that the number range is assigned to the correct document type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to execute the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SNRO (Number Range Objects) to manage number ranges or SPRO for configuration.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed steps on configuring number ranges for your specific module.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the configuration settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation, as there may be additional settings or dependencies that need to be addressed.
