• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM_OPEN_DOCS050 - Number range used up ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM_OPEN_DOCS050 indicating "Number range used up" typically occurs when the system has exhausted the available numbers in a defined number range for a specific object. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating new documents, purchase orders, or other entities that rely on number ranges.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the specific document type has been completely used up. This can happen if the number range is not large enough to accommodate the volume of documents being created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured, or the intervals may not be set correctly.
  Missing Number Range Assignment: The document type may not be assigned to a valid number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object (e.g., for purchase orders, it might be EKKO).
  Check the status of the number range intervals to see if they are exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by creating a new interval or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the number range is not configured correctly, you may need to adjust the settings in the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for number range maintenance and ensure that the document type is correctly assigned to a valid number range.
  
  
  
  Create New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, create a new number range object and assign it to the relevant document type.
